Local housing stock
Only 19.9 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1953. Brick two-flats and frame houses on full basements, packed onto the bluff and into the ravines, with almost no unbuilt ground left on the parcel.
Climate & seasonal risk
The nearest long-term record — EVANSTON 1.4 N, 1.4 miles out — puts the annual normal at 40.32 inches, with May heaviest at 4.71. May's 4.71 inches falls on a bluff that the lake is still holding ice-cold. Ravine houses take that water as a creek against the buried wall; bluff-top houses take it as wind-driven rain off the lake that a Skokie lot never sees. The water table under the beach ridge stays high whether it rains or not.
Common moisture and mold problems in Evanston
- North Shore ravines carrying May rain as a creek against buried basement walls
- Wave-cut bluff houses taking lake-driven rain through masonry that was built for vertical water
- A beach-ridge water table holding crawlspaces and basements wet on a fair week
- Brick two-flats sharing walls so one roof or gutter failure wets two addresses
