Local conditions in De Kalb
Serving De Kalb and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
The median home in De Kalb dates to 1978, and 67.3 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Two thirds of the housing predates 1990, mostly single-story on crawl spaces and piers across rolling clay ground. In a town this size there is no engineered storm system, so whether a property drains comes down to the ditch beside its road and the culvert under its drive.
Climate & seasonal risk
January is the wettest month here at 6.2 inches, part of an annual 60.26 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from GHOLSON 8 W, 15.6 miles off. January brings the heaviest rain in a very wet year, arriving as long frontal systems when nothing evaporates. Clay sheds most of it and holds the rest, so the ground stays at capacity from midwinter into spring and crawl spaces stay wet for months rather than days.
