Local housing stock
Only 11.5 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1951. Mid-century and older housing on small lots covers most of the city, much of it over full basements. Lot coverage is high enough that very little rainfall is absorbed anywhere, so almost the whole of a storm becomes runoff and has to be carried away by pipe.
Climate & seasonal risk
June is the wettest month here at 4.91 inches, part of an annual 50.57 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from LITTLE FALLS TWP 0.5 WNW, 3.7 miles off. June brings the wettest month to a basin whose river has very little fall, so water leaves the area slowly under any conditions. Local storm drainage discharges into that system, and when the river is high there is no head available and the streets hold what falls on them.
Common water damage problems in Clifton
- A basin river with very little fall, so water leaves the area slowly at the best of times
- Near-total lot coverage, converting almost the whole rainfall to runoff
- A basin outlet that governs when the local system can discharge at all
- Mid-century basements at or below the seasonal table in a slow-draining basin
