About half of the housing here predates 1990 — 54.1 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1985. Just over half predates 1990, on slab and basement across ground that has subsided in places and may do so again. Old shafts and workings are mapped unevenly.
Climate & seasonal risk
May alone accounts for 14.3 percent of the 47.51 inches this area sees in an average year, on 1991–2020 normals recorded 4.1 miles away at SHOAL CREEK ESTATES 0.2 SE. May tops the year at nearly seven inches within forty-eight, arriving in intense spring storms that the shallow soil here can take very little of.
