Local housing stock
Of roughly 2,386 housing units, about 1,595 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1980. The stock is largely older housing on generous wooded lots, much of it close to ravines that carry drainage down to the lake. Those ravines are steep, they erode, and several properties often drain into the same one, so what one owner does upstream reaches the others.
Climate & seasonal risk
Lake Bluff averages 39.28 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at LAKE FOREST 2.1 NNE 1.2 miles away, with May the wettest month at 4.74 inches. May brings the wettest month, and the ravines concentrate it. Water from a wide area of the village funnels into narrow steep channels, which cuts them deeper over time and undermines the slopes beside them rather than simply carrying the water away.
Common water damage problems in Lake Bluff
- Steep wooded ravines concentrating drainage from a wide area into narrow channels
- Ravine erosion undermining the slopes and whatever sits near their edges
- Several properties draining into one ravine, so upstream decisions reach downstream
- Heavy leaf litter blocking inlets and culverts through the autumn
