Local conditions in Highland
Serving Highland and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Of roughly 2,913 housing units, about 1,856 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1979. The stock is mixed and largely older, with basements cut into shale and glacial soil on sloping ground above the river. Where bedrock is shallow the soil holds very little, and water moves along the top of the rock rather than draining downward through it.
Climate & seasonal risk
Highland averages 47.18 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at POUGHKEEPSIE 2.2 miles away, with September the wettest month at 4.64 inches. September is the wettest month because tropical remnants still reach this far up the Hudson Valley with substantial rainfall. Shallow shale gives the soil very little storage, so a large single-day event fills the profile quickly and then runs along the rock surface into whatever excavation is in the way.
Common water damage problems in Highland
- Shallow shale bedrock limiting soil storage, so water moves laterally on the rock surface
- Tropical remnants delivering very large single-day totals in the early autumn peak
- Basements excavated into rock with backfill that holds water against the wall
- Sloping river-valley lots where uphill runoff concentrates against the back of a house
