Local housing stock
The median home in Juneau dates to 1982, and 70.3 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Seven in ten homes predate 1990, built on a narrow strip between steep slopes and tidewater. There is very little level ground here, so building has followed whatever bench and fill was available, frequently at the foot of slopes that shed a great deal of water.
Climate & seasonal risk
September is the wettest month here at 11.57 inches, part of an annual 88.54 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from JUNEAU-DOUGLAS WWTP, 9.6 miles off. September brings nearly twelve inches in a single month, among the heaviest anywhere in the country, on slopes that rise directly from the water. Rain of that magnitude on that terrain arrives at the built strip fast and continuously rather than in discrete events.
Common water damage problems in Juneau
- Nearly twelve inches in a single month falling onto slopes above the built strip
- Very little level ground, so building sits at the foot of what sheds
- Slopes that move under sustained saturation as well as during storms
- Road-inaccessible location, so materials and contractors arrive by sea or air
