Local housing stock
The median home in Des Moines dates to 1961, and 76.7 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Mid-century and older housing over full basements spreads across the bottomland between the rivers and the higher ground around it. The levee system defines the bottomland's exposure, and the higher neighborhoods have an entirely different relationship to the same weather.
Climate & seasonal risk
Des Moines averages 36.55 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at DES MOINES INTL AP 3.5 miles away, with June the wettest month at 5.26 inches. June brings the wettest month, and both rivers respond to rainfall across large agricultural basins upstream rather than to what falls on the city. When the two peak together the confluence carries a level that neither would produce alone, which is the condition that has caused the worst local flooding.
Common water damage problems in Des Moines
- Two rivers whose peaks may coincide, producing a level neither would alone
- Groundwater rising with the rivers behind the levees during prolonged high stages
- Critical municipal infrastructure historically exposed to the same flooding
- Interior drainage that cannot discharge while river stages are high
