Local housing stock
Building in Waltham clusters in the early 1960s: the median unit dates to 1961, with 78.3 percent finished before 1990. Just under four fifths predates 1990, from mill-era housing along the water to later stock on the slopes above. Each dam sets the level of the reach behind it, permanently rather than seasonally.
Climate & seasonal risk
December alone accounts for 10.1 percent of the 49.29 inches this area sees in an average year, on 1991–2020 normals recorded 6 miles away at CAMBRIDGE 0.9 NNW. December leads at just under five inches within forty-nine for the year, with the heaviest events arriving as coastal systems late in the year.
