Local housing stock
Over four fifths of the housing here predates 1990 — 78.6 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1967. Frame and brick on full basements, a 1967 median with 79 percent standing before 1990, split between the lake bluff and the harbor industrial terrace, with almost none of it detailed for a slip that still holds water.
Climate & seasonal risk
Of the 35.3 inches that arrive in an average year, 4.45 fall in June; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 3.3 miles away at CHICAGO WAUKEGAN RGNL AP. June's 4.45 inches is the peak of a 35.3 inch year at Waukegan's own airport, not Midway. Chicago's May is Bubbly Creek and a Deep Tunnel. Here the same lake is a bluff that weeps and a harbor slip of industrial fill, and a 1967 cellar on that slip takes June through ground the cleanup never replaced.
Common moisture and mold problems in Waukegan
- Harbor-slip industrial fill holding a June table under 1967 cellars
- Lake bluff houses weeping the downhill wall after a June cell while the harbor is still in its box
- Waukegan River outlets backing into the slip when the lake is high
- Bluff-face drains intercepted by later cuts and dumped onto the next lot toward the harbor
