Local housing stock
About a third of the housing here predates 1990 — 36.5 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1995. Most of the stock is newer construction with full basements, drain tile, and sumps included from the start, built along and above a creek corridor. The greenbelt is an amenity and a floodplain at once, and proximity to it is the single best predictor of how a given lot behaves in a June storm.
Climate & seasonal risk
Clive averages 37.26 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at CLIVE 1.2 E 2.7 miles away, with June the wettest month at 5.39 inches. June brings the heaviest rain onto loess and till that absorb readily and then hold, in a corridor where a creek drains a substantially developed watershed. Walnut Creek responds quickly to intense rain, and the flat ground alongside it is where the water spreads when it does.
Common water damage problems in Clive
- A creek corridor that is both greenbelt and floodplain, with development close alongside
- A developed watershed producing a fast creek response to intense June cells
- Loess that absorbs readily then holds water and loses strength when saturated
- Trail culverts and creek crossings through the greenbelt constricting flow during a fast rise
