Local housing stock
Only 1.4 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1938. Almost the entire stock is pre-war, built on the narrow flat beside the river and up the steep sides above it. There is very little level ground here, so buildings sit close to the channel by necessity and the margin between an ordinary river and a high one is small.
Climate & seasonal risk
October is the wettest month here at 5 inches, part of an annual 52.01 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from DOLGEVILLE 1.9 NW, 6.2 miles off. October brings the wettest month, and the valley narrows sharply through the city. A constricted reach means water backs up rather than passing through, so the level here rises further for a given flow than it does upstream or down.

- A constricted valley where water backs up rather than passing through
