Local housing stock
Only 40.8 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1977. Rowhouses and walk-ups of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with garden-level apartments half below the street. Those units are the lowest occupied space in a city whose low ground is genuinely low.
Climate & seasonal risk
Hoboken averages 49.52 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at NEW YORK CNTRL PK TWR 3.9 miles away, with July the wettest month at 4.6 inches. July leads near five inches out of fifty. What floods here is short and violent, an inch in half an hour, rather than a long soaking rain.
