Local housing stock
Only 21.1 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1965. Nearly four in five homes predate 1990, on the heavy lake-plain clay that made this country a swamp until it was tiled. Basements are standard.
Climate & seasonal risk
Of the 37.7 inches that arrive in an average year, 4.26 fall in May; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 1 miles away at DEFIANCE. May leads at four and a quarter inches out of thirty-eight, falling on ground engineered to shed water rather than hold it.
