53% of the 47,859 homes in Duluth are detached houses and 9% are townhouses or other attached homes, which sets the mix between open backyard decks and compact elevated ones; with a median build year of 1995, most new decks bolt to a modern rim joist behind proper flashing.
About 53 days a year reach 90°F, so orientation, shade and board color are design decisions in Duluth, not afterthoughts.
