Local housing stock
Of roughly 191,713 housing units, about 157,161 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1953. Older housing covers both settings, and what is beneath differs completely. The flats include ground made from fill placed over soft bay mud, which settles for decades and moves in ways that open joints in slabs and foundations; the hills are cut-and-fill terraces where water moves down through the fill and emerges at cut faces below.
Climate & seasonal risk
December is the wettest month here at 4.63 inches, part of an annual 22.47 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from OAKLAND 1.2 ENE, 1.3 miles off. December brings the wettest month, delivered by atmospheric rivers that saturate ground already softened by the season. On the hills that produces slope movement and seepage at cut faces; on the filled flats it raises a water table that sits close to the surface and has nowhere to drain.
