Local housing stock
Of roughly 34,208 housing units, about 25,302 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1971. A 1971 median is brick and frame on full basements cut into the hills, with the oldest stock on the river terrace. Uphill walls hold the slope; downhill walls sit over fill that the street grades have been chasing for a century.
Climate & seasonal risk
May alone accounts for 9.6 percent of the 43.61 inches this area sees in an average year, on 1991–2020 normals recorded 2.4 miles away at LYNCHBURG #2. May's 4.18 inches falls on thin soil over saprolite. What the hills cannot hold runs the streets to the James, and a basement cut into that slope keeps the uphill face wet long after the river itself has dropped.
Common moisture and mold problems in Lynchburg
- Basements cut into the seven hills retaining saturated saprolite on the uphill wall after every May storm
- River-terrace warehouses and mill housing on fill that the James still soaks when the gorge is high
- Brick from the tobacco era with lime mortar and no damp course on lots that shed onto the next street down
- Street grades that concentrate hill runoff into the lowest terrace before the storm drains can catch it
