Local housing stock
Of roughly 19,615 housing units, about 14,945 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1959. Dense older frame and masonry housing on small lots sits close to tidewater, most of it over full basements. Lot coverage is high enough that there is very little pervious ground between buildings, so nearly all rainfall becomes runoff before it has any chance to soak away.
Climate & seasonal risk
July alone accounts for 10.5 percent of the 49.49 inches this area sees in an average year, on 1991–2020 normals recorded 2.4 miles away at WOODBRIDGE TWP 1.1 ESE. July cells drop the year's heaviest rain onto a nearly impervious urban surface that drains to a tidal river. When the storm coincides with a high tide, the system has no head to discharge against, and water backs up through the lowest connections on the block, which are basement drains.
Common water damage problems in Perth Amboy
- High tide removing discharge capacity during the heaviest summer cells
- Dense lot coverage converting nearly all rainfall to immediate runoff
- Older basements connected to a system that relieves through their floor drains when it surcharges
- Brackish backup water, which changes the scope from drying to removal for affected porous materials
