Local housing stock
Over four fifths of the housing here predates 1990 — 78.9 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1967. Post-war frame on full basements predominates, stepped down the bluffs toward the Blue, with limestone close enough to the surface that footings sometimes bear on rock and sometimes on clay in the same block.
Climate & seasonal risk
Of the 44.66 inches that arrive in an average year, 5.99 fall in May; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 2.3 miles away at INDEPENDENCE. May leads at 5.99 inches of a 44.66 inch year. Residual clay over limestone perches that water, and a house with one footing on rock and one on clay moves two different ways when the clay gets wet.

- Blue River backwater into the lowest blocks when the channel is high
