Local housing stock
Building in New Bern clusters in the late 1980s: the median unit dates to 1989, with 51.6 percent finished before 1990. Half predates 1990, on crawl spaces and slabs across low coastal plain ground. The rivers here are wide and shallow, which means a modest rise covers a great deal of land.
Climate & seasonal risk
The nearest long-term record — TRENT WOODS 1.0 NNE, 1.1 miles out — puts the annual normal at 57.42 inches, with September heaviest at 7.74. September leads at over seven and a half inches within fifty-seven for the year. The events of record combined tropical rainfall with water pushed up the rivers from the sound.
Common water damage problems in New Bern
- Wide shallow tidal rivers, where a modest rise covers a very large area
- Water pushed a long way inland by a sustained wind rather than by any surf
- Rain and pushed water arriving together, with neither able to escape
- Low coastal plain ground where a water table sits close under the surface
