Local housing stock
Roughly two thirds of the housing here predates 1990 — 69.9 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1962. Mid-century and older housing on small lots occupies ground close to the river and its tributaries. The tidal reach means the river's level here is set partly by the tide, so the freeboard between a property and the water changes twice a day regardless of what the weather is doing.
Climate & seasonal risk
June is the wettest month here at 5.11 inches, part of an annual 49.54 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from WOODBRIDGE TWP 1.1 NNE, 2.2 miles off. June brings the wettest month, and the river responds to rainfall across a developed upstream watershed. When that response coincides with a high tide, the river has neither the capacity to carry the flow nor the level to discharge it, and the low ground takes the difference.
Common water damage problems in Rahway
- A tidal river reach where freeboard changes twice a day regardless of weather
- Upstream development producing a faster response to the same rainfall
- Storm drainage that loses its outfall whenever the river is high
- Small lots close to the channel with very little elevation margin
