What California does to a house

A state is a big place — these are the ranges, not averages. The county pages pin the numbers down.

Climate
Zones 6a–10b. Freezing days run from ~0 to ~243 a year depending on the county.
First freeze
Usually lands anywhere from September 16 to December 25 depending on the county — and 4 counties skip frost altogether.
The air
Runs from desert-dry to humid, county by county.
The load
Split duty: 10 counties lean heating, 40 lean cooling — the county page calls yours.
Termites
Moderate pressure as a state band.
Radon
EPA Zone 2 — the middle band — statewide. A one-time test settles it either way.
Wildfire
58 counties run high wildfire risk.
Labor
Labor sits near one level statewide — every price band on this site adjusts to the county anyway.
