Local housing stock
The median home in Cliffside Park dates to 1970, and 77.5 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Much of the stock is multi-family, built at high density on a narrow ridge above the river. Rock close beneath means excavations were cut into diabase, and the backfill placed around those foundations is more permeable than the rock it sits in, so water that reaches it collects rather than draining away.
Climate & seasonal risk
Of the 50.25 inches that arrive in an average year, 4.84 fall in July; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 1.9 miles away at PALISADES PARK 0.2 WNW. July brings the wettest month as intense convective cells on a ridge with almost no soil to absorb them. Water runs off quickly toward the slopes on either side, and what soaks in has very little storage before it reaches rock and begins moving laterally.
Common water damage problems in Cliffside Park
- Excavations cut into hard diabase, surrounded by backfill that fills and holds water
- Almost no soil storage on the ridge before water reaches rock and moves laterally
- High-density multi-family buildings where one failure reaches many units
- Steep slopes on both sides of the ridge, concentrating runoff onto what lies below
