Local housing stock
Building in Scranton clusters in the late 1930s: the median unit dates to 1938, with 91.8 percent finished before 1990. Double houses and brick on full basements, median 1938, nearly 92 percent pre-1990, clinging to valley walls and to benches that have dropped where the coal came out.
Climate & seasonal risk
Scranton averages 38.72 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at WILKES-BARRE INTL AP 5.8 miles away, with September the wettest month at 4.15 inches. September's 4.15 inches is a late-season peak that often includes tropical remnants. On these slopes that rain runs the uphill wall; in a subsided trough it ponds in a yard that was not a low point when the house was built in the 1930s.
Common moisture and mold problems in Scranton
- Mine subsidence creating new low spots that pond September rain in yards the maps still call upland
- Steep valley benches shedding into the uphill basement wall after every remnant
- Anthracite-era double houses sharing a party wall so one roof failure wets two addresses
- Mine drainage moving through fill under later streets and into cellars that never flooded when the workings were pumped
