Local housing stock
Of roughly 3,494 housing units, about 3,458 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1968. Brick ranches and split-levels on full basements, a 1968 median, and 99 percent of the units standing before 1990 — a stock whose felt and parging have had five decades in the ground.
Climate & seasonal risk
June is the wettest month here at 5.06 inches, part of an annual 41.46 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from HOMEWOOD 0.1 ESE, 2.7 miles off. June's 5.06 inches falls on a village that barely built after 1990, so the rain tests original coatings, not new membranes. Lake-plain clay holds that storm against walls whose asphalt felt has cracked at the footings, and a 5-inch month does not need a named creek to find those cracks.
Common moisture and mold problems in Glenwood
- Original 1960s felt damp-proofing cracked at the footing after fifty years in clay
- Lake-plain clay holding a 5-inch June against those cracks for days after the storm
- Window wells on 1968 ranches silted shut so June rain enters at the frame rather than the drain
- Downspouts still tied to storm lines that surcharge in the same hour the clay is already full
