Local housing stock
Only 41.8 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1975. Nearly three fifths of the housing predates 1990, older stock increasingly interleaved with larger replacement houses on the same lots. That redevelopment changes the ground: a bigger footprint, more paving, and a deeper basement on a parcel that used to hold a smaller house alter both the runoff from it and the water around it.
Climate & seasonal risk
Decatur averages 53.19 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at DECATUR 1.2 SE 1.1 miles away, with July the wettest month at 5.11 inches. July brings the wettest month as intense convective cells over clay that sheds rather than absorbs. In a compact city with rising impervious coverage, that runoff reaches the small creeks quickly, and those creeks are confined between developed blocks with very little room to spread.
