Local housing stock
Of roughly 7,462 housing units, about 5,236 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1977. Seven in ten homes predate 1990, mostly single-story on slabs across ground where sandstone and shale lie close beneath thin soil. There is very little storage above the rock, so what falls either runs off the surface or moves along the rock, and almost none of it soaks away.
Climate & seasonal risk
August alone accounts for 17.3 percent of the 14.05 inches this area sees in an average year, on 1991–2020 normals recorded 0.9 miles away at GALLUP 1.0 SSE. August brings the wettest month at under two and a half inches, delivered as short violent monsoon cells over mesas that shed essentially everything. Arroyos that are dry for most of the year carry substantial flow within minutes, and they run through and past areas that were developed when they were dry.
Common water damage problems in Gallup
- Sandstone mesas above the city shedding a monsoon cell almost in its entirety within minutes
- Mesa slopes shedding nearly all rainfall onto the ground below
- Thin soil over sandstone and shale, with almost no storage available anywhere
- Development built alongside channels that look like landscape features for eleven months
