Local housing stock
The median home in West Des Moines dates to 1994, and 42.1 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Three fifths postdates 1990, on deep basements across till and loess. Newer subdivisions sit on ground that was in row crops within living memory, and the drainage that served the fields is not the drainage a subdivision needs.
Climate & seasonal risk
June is the wettest month here at 5.39 inches, part of an annual 37.26 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from CLIVE 1.2 E, 4.3 miles off. June leads at over five inches out of thirty-seven, delivered by intense summer storms. Ground converted from crops to roofs and streets sheds what it used to absorb.
