Reading the Hemet data for roofing

Hemet counts 93,649 residents (2025 estimate), growing at a middle-of-the-pack 4.3% since 2020^[1]. It covers 29.3 square miles (3,200 residents per square mile, the 10th densest), sits entirely in Riverside County, in ZIP codes 92545, 92543^[2].

Roofs of every age sit side by side here: 5% of homes were built in 2010 or later and 42% before 1980^[4], so two houses on one street can need very different roof work.

Hemet is split across 2 ZIP codes: 92545 (53% of the city's land), 92543 (37% of the city's land)^[5].

The tracked suburbs closest by are Menifee (11.2 mi W), Murrieta (15.8 mi SW) and Moreno Valley (17.7 mi NW)^[2].

No hail reports fall within 10 miles of central Hemet for 2016–2025^[3], versus Menifee (2), Murrieta (3), and Moreno Valley (0) nearby. Reports need an observer, so a quiet record isn't a guarantee.

2 damaging-wind reports came from within 10 miles in 2016–2025, peaking at 76 mph (measured) on Aug 25, 2025^[3].

Half of Hemet's homes were built before 1984^[4] — the 4th-oldest of the 15 Inland Empire suburbs we cover (median years nearby: Menifee (2001), Murrieta (2000), and Moreno Valley (1988)). Many roofs here have likely been replaced before — ask what is under the current layer.

Median home value: $352,200 (the lowest of the 15 Inland Empire suburbs we cover); 53% of housing is detached houses^[4].

Among the 15 suburbs tracked here, Hemet stands out for the fewest hail reports nearby (0, tied with 8 other suburbs)^[3], the lowest median home value ($352,200)^[4], the lowest share of detached houses (53%)^[4], and the 2nd-lowest share of homes built since 2010 (5%)^[4].
