Local housing stock
The median home in Chicago dates to 1953, and 80.4 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Brick bungalows and two-flats on full basements stand on South Fork packinghouse fill from McKinley Park through South Lawndale, party walls and floor drains tying two addresses to the same combined lateral. Water enters at that drain when the lateral surcharges, and through masonry that was never damp-proofed against fill that stays wet.
Climate & seasonal risk
Of the 34.42 inches that arrive in an average year, 4.09 fall in May; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 4.9 miles away at CHICAGO MIDWAY AP. May leads at 4.09 inches on the Midway side of the city. Deep Tunnel dropshafts still lag that pulse, so a combined lateral on packinghouse fill surcharges a bungalow cellar before the tunnel takes the South Fork load.
