Local conditions in Cape Girardeau
Serving Cape Girardeau and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
About three quarters of the housing here predates 1990 — 71.2 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1975. Seven in ten homes predate 1990, spread between the low ground behind the wall and the bluff tops above it. Those two situations have almost nothing in common.
Climate & seasonal risk
Of the 47.91 inches that arrive in an average year, 5.27 fall in May; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 5.8 miles away at CAPE GIRARDEAU MUNI AP. May leads at over five inches within forty-eight for the year. What fills the river here fell across a catchment of half a continent rather than over this county.
Common water damage problems in Cape Girardeau
- Bluffs of windblown silt that stand until concentrated water cuts into them
- A floodwall that stops the river and leaves the town's own drainage to be lifted over it
- A river level set by rainfall across an enormous area upstream rather than locally
- Bluff-top properties and low-ground properties in one city with entirely different exposures
