Local housing stock
The median home in New Bedford dates to 1938, and 91.1 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Nine in ten homes predate 1990, dense wood triple-deckers and mill-era housing on close lots. The barrier across the harbor closes against surge, which changes what the city is exposed to: the sea is held out, and everything the city itself sheds still has to leave past it.
Climate & seasonal risk
New Bedford averages 45.94 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at NEW BEDFORD MUNI AP 1.5 miles away, with March the wettest month at 4.82 inches. March brings the wettest month, unusually early for New England, when the ground is still emerging from frost and absorbs very little. The harbor barrier protects against surge and does nothing about rainfall that has to discharge through a harbor whose gates may be shut.
