Local housing stock
Only 31.9 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1984. Two thirds of the housing predates 1990, block on slab along bayous and low ground near the water. The limestone beneath is close to the surface and irregular, so drainage varies sharply lot to lot, and the same rock that produces the springs also produces solution features that swallow water in some places and not others.
Climate & seasonal risk
Tarpon Springs averages 54.29 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at TARPON SPGS SEWAGE PLT 1.6 miles away, with August the wettest month at 9.66 inches. August brings close to ten inches onto ground where drainage is genuinely local. Where the rock is open beneath a lot, water disappears quickly; a short distance away it stands. The bayous themselves are tidal, so the level any of it drains toward is set by the Gulf rather than by rainfall.
Common water damage problems in Tarpon Springs
- Irregular limestone beneath, so drainage varies sharply between neighboring lots
- Tidal bayous setting the discharge level for low ground well inland of the Gulf
- Solution features that swallow water in some places and not at all in others
- Older slabs on low ground near the water, with very little margin above tidal range
