Local housing stock
Close to nine in ten of the housing here predates 1990 — 87.9 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1971. Nearly nine in ten homes predate 1990, much of it on posts, cribbing or cut rock rather than on level ground. Nothing here gets a dry season in which to recover.
Climate & seasonal risk
Ketchikan averages 157.27 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at BEAVER FALLS 0.9 miles away, with November the wettest month at 19.46 inches. November alone brings over nineteen inches, and the annual total is several times what most of the country receives. Rain is the constant condition rather than an event.
Common water damage problems in Ketchikan
- Over a hundred and fifty inches a year, so nothing ever fully dries out
- Steep rock immediately behind the buildings, shedding everything it receives onto them
- Structures on posts and cribbing over uneven ground, where water passes underneath
- Wood construction under permanent moisture, where a small failure never gets a chance to dry
