Local conditions in Rensselaer
Serving Rensselaer and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Only 27.2 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1960. Mid-century and older housing occupies ground that steps up from the waterfront, much of it over cellars in valley fill. Industrial use along the riverfront left made ground in places, so what lies beneath a property near the water varies more than the surface suggests.
Climate & seasonal risk
July is the wettest month here at 4.66 inches, part of an annual 43.07 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from ALBANY 0.7 SW, 4.1 miles off. July brings the wettest month, and the Hudson here is tidal despite being far from the sea. The river rises and falls twice daily regardless of the weather, so groundwater in the fill near the waterfront follows a rhythm that has nothing to do with rainfall.
Common water damage problems in Rensselaer
- River stage on a tidal reach driving groundwater in the fill near the waterfront
- Made ground from industrial use, with drainage that varies unpredictably
- Cellars in valley fill that respond to river stage as well as to rain
- Steep streets above the waterfront concentrating runoff onto the lowest blocks
