Serving Altoona and the surrounding area, including Downtown, Llyswen, Broad Avenue, Knickerbocker.
Local housing stock
Close to nine in ten of the housing here predates 1990 — 95.1 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1944. A 1944 median is brick and frame on full basements, 95 percent of it standing before 1990. Shop-era rows sit on valley fill; hillside rows sit on the Front's toe. Both have original tile. Only the flats take the Little Juniata without a mapped flood.
Climate & seasonal risk
May alone accounts for 9.9 percent of the 44.72 inches this area sees in an average year, on 1991–2020 normals recorded 3.6 miles away at ALTOONA 3 W. May's 4.41 inches is wrung out of storms that hit the Allegheny Front and stall. On the shop flats that rain has no fall; it fills the valley fill and the old roundhouse drains, and a 1944 cellar takes water the mountain wrung out a mile of elevation above it.
Common moisture and mold problems in Altoona
- Allegheny Front orographic stalls dumping May rain onto PRR shop flats that cannot shed it
- Valley fill under roundhouse-era rows holding that water against 1944 cellar walls
- Hillside toe-of-slope houses retaining seepage on the uphill wall after the same stalls
- Little Juniata culverts from the shop era surcharging into the lowest streets when the Front wrings a cell dry
