Local housing stock
Over four fifths of the housing here predates 1990 — 84.2 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1942. Close-packed two- and three-family housing over cellars fills most of the city, on lots with very little open ground. Three households over one cellar and one plumbing stack means a single failure becomes several claims and one drying job, with access to be negotiated across separate tenancies.
Climate & seasonal risk
December is the wettest month here at 4.91 inches, part of an annual 48.44 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from WINCHESTER 0.7 SE, 2 miles off. December brings the heaviest rain as the ground begins to close with frost, so very little of it soaks in. The river through the city is held between an upstream impoundment and a downstream structure, which stabilizes its level and also means it cannot fall away to make room when a storm arrives.
Common water damage problems in Medford
- A river held between structures, so it cannot drop to accept a storm
- December rain landing on ground already closing with frost
- Two- and three-family stacks where one break reaches several tenancies
- Almost no pervious ground anywhere between closely packed buildings
