Local housing stock
Building in Newark clusters in the mid 1960s: the median unit dates to 1966, with 72.5 percent finished before 1990. Nearly three quarters predates 1990, from dense older stock on the higher ground to industrial and residential building out on the filled flats. The two situations are unrelated.
Climate & seasonal risk
June alone accounts for 9.7 percent of the 50.42 inches this area sees in an average year, on 1991–2020 normals recorded 2 miles away at HARRISON. June tops the year at under five inches out of fifty. What defeats the drainage is a short violent burst rather than any quantity spread across a day.
