Local housing stock
Building in Ames clusters in the early 1990s: the median unit dates to 1992, with 47.8 percent finished before 1990. Campus-era frame on full basements, median 1992, a split of older grid on the creek and later tract on the till, with just under half predating 1990.
Climate & seasonal risk
Ames averages 38.45 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at AMES 1.5 NNE 1.3 miles away, with May the wettest month at 5.38 inches. May's 5.38 inches is a spring peak. Ioway Creek is flashy on till and campus pavement, and 2010 still marks which basements sit in that path. The low grid was sited for the railroad and the creek together, so the oldest streets are the ones in the way.
Common moisture and mold problems in Ames
