Local housing stock
The median home in Columbia dates to 1993, and 44.7 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Just under half predates 1990, on basements dug into wind-blown silt above limestone. The silt cuts easily where water concentrates, and the rock below moves water in ways the surface does not show.
Climate & seasonal risk
Columbia averages 44.82 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at COLUMBIA U OF M 0.5 miles away, with May the wettest month at 5.2 inches. May leads at over five inches within forty-five for the year. Intense spring storms on ground with a large paved fraction reach the creek within the hour.
