Local housing stock
Of roughly 33,255 housing units, about 27,678 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1962. Older brick and frame housing on full basements predominates with a median build year of 1962, much of it stepped up the bluffs above the river flats.
Climate & seasonal risk
The nearest long-term record — STN JOSEPH 2.1 NE, 2 miles out — puts the annual normal at 37.5 inches, with May heaviest at 5.26. May leads at 5.26 inches, and loess is the reason that matters. The silt holds together while dry and loses strength when saturated under load, so concentrated flow does not merely wet the ground near a foundation, it can carry it away.
Common moisture and mold problems in St. Joseph
- Deep loess losing strength when saturated under load rather than simply becoming damp
- Concentrated downspout or lateral discharge cutting channels into silt very quickly
- Bluff lots where the uphill side of a foundation retains a tall face of that silt
- Pre-1970 basements dependent on surface grading that has since settled
