Local housing stock
Of roughly 35,337 housing units, about 22,874 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1978. A substantial share is mill village housing: small, closely spaced, single-story frame houses on crawl spaces or low piers, built quickly for a workforce and often on ground that was never graded for drainage. Those villages were laid out for walking distance to a mill rather than for how water would leave the site.
Climate & seasonal risk
Of the 44.35 inches that arrive in an average year, 4.38 fall in June; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 2.1 miles away at GASTONIA 1.8 SSE. June brings the heaviest rain as convective storms over Piedmont red clay that sheds nearly all of it. In a mill village the lots are small and the ground between houses is shallow and flat, so runoff concentrates in the gaps and stays there rather than moving on.
