Local housing stock
Building in New Orleans clusters in the early 1960s: the median unit dates to 1960, with 82.1 percent finished before 1990. Raised shotgun and Creole cottages on piers characterize the older neighborhoods, with post-war slab construction in the areas developed later, most of it a single story.
Climate & seasonal risk
Of the 60.12 inches that arrive in an average year, 6.46 fall in August; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 5.7 miles away at NEW ORLEANS LAKEFRONT AP. August's 6.46 inches falls on ground much of which sits below the surrounding water level, so drainage is mechanical rather than gravitational. When pumping capacity is exceeded, the water simply stays until it can be moved.
Common moisture and mold problems in New Orleans
- Ground sitting below surrounding water level, leaving drainage dependent on mechanical pumping
- Very high annual rainfall combined with a subtropical humidity that prevents natural drying
- Subsidence gradually altering the level of slabs and pier foundations relative to drainage
- Raised pier construction leaving an under-floor space permanently exposed to humid air
