Oxnard homes and their age
In American Community Survey figures, Oxnard has roughly 56,000 homes; about 57 percent predate 1980 and about 21 percent come from the 1970s alone. Its median year built is 1977.
Before replacing 1970s-era ceilings or floors, have them sampled for asbestos. Paint from before 1978 may contain lead, which matters most when it's chipping or about to be sanded.
Cool coastal summers
Oxnard's Ventura County airport station averages July highs of only about 73°F, with roughly 13 inches of annual rain that mostly falls November to March (NOAA, 1991-2020).
February brings the most rain there, and January lows average about 46°F, so damp spots dry slowly in winter. A partner's moisture mapping can be useful after a leak.
Ventura County APCD
The Ventura County APCD covers the entire county, CARB's district list shows. Ventura County projects that involve demolition, and some renovations, can need an asbestos survey and district notice ahead of time.
