Local housing stock
Of roughly 27,832 housing units, about 21,535 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1963. Older housing occupies both the narrow flat by the river and the bluffs above it, much of it on stone and early poured cellars cut into rock. Where limestone is close beneath, an excavated cellar sits in backfill that fills rather than drains, and the rock itself carries water along joints.
Climate & seasonal risk
Dubuque averages 38.83 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at DUBUQUE L&D 11 4.2 miles away, with June the wettest month at 5.64 inches. June brings the wettest month, and the two settings respond differently. The flat by the river takes groundwater that rises with the pool behind the downstream dam, and the bluffs shed intense rain down steep streets within minutes with nowhere for it to spread.
Common water damage problems in Dubuque
- Steep streets delivering runoff to the riverfront flat within minutes
- Cellars cut into limestone, surrounded by backfill that holds water
- River pool level behind a downstream dam setting the groundwater on the flat
- Fractured rock carrying water along joints and arriving at a single point on a wall
