Local housing stock
The median home in West Des Moines dates to 1994, and 42.1 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. A split stock: mill-era frame on full basements at Valley Junction on the Raccoon flats, and post-1990 slab and basement tract on the loess toward Clive and Waukee, averaging a 1994 median.
Climate & seasonal risk
June is the wettest month here at 5.39 inches, part of an annual 37.26 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from CLIVE 1.2 E, 4.3 miles off. June's 5.39 inches is the warm-season peak, and here it hits two catchments. Valley Junction takes the Raccoon. The newer west side takes Jordan Creek and loess that pipes water along the buried contact into window wells the 1990s grading did not expect.
Common moisture and mold problems in West Des Moines
