Local housing stock
Close to nine in ten of the housing here predates 1990 — 98.7 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1945. The housing is old, few in number, and almost entirely pre-war, on flat prairie ground with heavy soil beneath. In a village this size there is no engineered storm system, so whether a property drains depends on the ditch beside its road and on agricultural tile that predates most of the buildings.
Climate & seasonal risk
Of the 40.8 inches that arrive in an average year, 4.86 fall in May; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 6.8 miles away at CLINTON 1SSW. May brings the heaviest rain onto prairie soil that accepts water slowly, in a landscape drained for farming rather than for streets. The tile network moves water toward the nearest ditch, and when the ground is already at capacity the water simply stands on it.
Common water damage problems in Kenney
- Field tile and roadside ditches as the entire drainage system
- Heavy prairie soil that accepts water slowly and holds it once full
- Pre-war housing on foundations built long before any drainage practice
- Very limited local contractor availability, with the nearest help some distance away
