Local housing stock
Building in Akron clusters in the mid 1950s: the median unit dates to 1954, with 89.1 percent finished before 1990. Frame and brick housing on full basements predominates, laid out in dense industrial-era blocks between and above the valleys.
Climate & seasonal risk
Akron averages 32.51 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at AKRON FULTON INTL AP 4.2 miles away, with June the wettest month at 3.67 inches. June leads at 3.67 inches of a moderate annual total, so the weather is not the pressure here. Sandstone and shale bedrock close to the surface leaves thin soil that fills quickly, and the ravine system carries what it cannot hold straight down to the river.
Common moisture and mold problems in Akron
- Thin soil over sandstone and shale filling quickly and then shedding everything above it
- Steep ravines concentrating runoff from a wide area into narrow drainage corridors
- Housing where nearly nine in ten units predate 1990 and most predate 1960
- Combined sewers under the older districts backing into basements during heavy rain
