Local housing stock
Only 27.7 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1965. Nearly three quarters of the housing predates 1990, spread between the flat leveed bottomland and the steep loess hills behind it. Those two settings could hardly be more different: the bottom carries river and groundwater exposure, and the hills carry slope stability and erosion in a soil that stands vertical when dry and fails when saturated.
Climate & seasonal risk
May is the wettest month here at 4.97 inches, part of an annual 34.52 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from COUNCIL BLUFFS 2.1 SSE, 1.7 miles off. May brings the wettest month, and the river responds to rain and snowmelt across an enormous upstream basin rather than to local weather. Behind the levee, prolonged high river stages raise groundwater across the bottomland regardless of what the levee is doing.
Common water damage problems in Council Bluffs
- Groundwater rising with the river across the bottomland, independent of the levee
- Deep loess that stands vertical when dry and loses strength when saturated
- A river driven by an enormous upstream basin rather than by local rainfall
- Two entirely different mechanisms within one city, depending on bluff or bottom
