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, a month earlier than Des Moines' June. Ioway Creek is flashy on till and campus pavement, and 2010 still marks which basements sit in that path. Ankeny's Fourmile is a suburb creek. This one runs through campus on purpose.
