Local housing stock
Only 27.3 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1965. The stock ranges from eighteenth and nineteenth century stone and brick to extensive mid-century and later construction. Older stone houses sit on foundations that were built into the rock with no drainage provision at all, and they behave nothing like the post-war stock a street away.
Climate & seasonal risk
Princeton averages 49.36 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at PRINCETON 2.3 E 2.1 miles away, with July the wettest month at 4.88 inches. July brings the wettest month as intense convective cells over shallow soil on hard diabase. There is very little storage above the rock, so the ground fills quickly and the surplus moves along the rock surface, arriving at foundations from directions the surface topography does not suggest.
Common water damage problems in Princeton
- Shallow soil over hard diabase with very little storage before water reaches the rock
- Historic stone foundations built into rock with no drainage provision behind them
- Water traveling on the rock surface and arriving from outside the property
