Local housing stock
Of roughly 6,436 housing units, about 6,086 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1938. Almost the entire stock is pre-1990 and much of it is pre-war, built on hillsides that fall steeply toward the valley floor. Foundations are stone and block, cut into slope.
Climate & seasonal risk
The nearest long-term record — EMMONS, 3 miles out — puts the annual normal at 44.75 inches, with June heaviest at 4.66. June leads at four and a half inches out of forty-five, on hillsides where thin soil over rock sheds rain rather than storing it.
Common water damage problems in Oneonta
- Thin soil over bedrock on the valley sides, giving rain almost nowhere to go
