Local conditions in Elizabeth
Serving Elizabeth and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Over four fifths of the housing here predates 1990 — 78.3 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1957. Older housing at high density, much of it multi-family, covers most of the city on lots with very little open ground. The river through it is tidal near the bay, and the older neighborhoods are served by combined sewers that carry sanitary and storm flow together.
Climate & seasonal risk
July is the wettest month here at 4.66 inches, part of an annual 46.6 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from NEWARK INTL AP, 1.7 miles off. July brings the wettest month onto an almost entirely impervious surface. The combined system takes nearly the whole rainfall, and when the tide is high the outfall is closed, so the line surcharges and relieves through the lowest openings connected to it.
Common water damage problems in Elizabeth
- A tidal outfall that closes during the same hours the heaviest rain arrives
- Combined sewers relieving through the lowest connected basement fixtures
- A surface almost entirely built over, leaving nothing anywhere to take a storm in
- Multi-family buildings where one riser failure reaches every floor below
