Local housing stock
Of roughly 37,816 housing units, about 34,591 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1957. Nine in ten homes predate 1990, on full basements across ground whose original drainage was rearranged a century ago. The low ground between the old dune ridges is still low, whatever was built on it.
Climate & seasonal risk
Of the 40.79 inches that arrive in an average year, 4.53 fall in June; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 5.1 miles away at GARY 4.8 ENE. June leads at under five inches out of forty-one. The determining factor here is not the rainfall but whether the artificial drainage that made the ground usable is still working.
Common water damage problems in Gary
- Original dune-and-hollow drainage rearranged a century ago and maintained unevenly since
- Low ground between old ridges that is still the low ground whatever sits on it
- Sand that carries water sideways readily, so a rise travels well beyond where it started
- Ditches and pumped drains that only work while somebody is maintaining them
