Local conditions in Gresham
Serving Gresham and the surrounding area, including Northwest, Holly Brook, Central City, North Central, Historic Southeast, Centennial, Gresham Butte, Mount Hood.
Local housing stock
Only 36.1 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1981. About two thirds predates 1990, mostly frame housing on crawl spaces and basements over ground that changes from free-draining gravel to heavier volcanic soils across short distances. That transition matters because the two behave in opposite ways, and neighboring properties can need entirely different remedies.
Climate & seasonal risk
December is the wettest month here at 6.15 inches, part of an annual 40.66 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from PORTLAND TROUTDALE AP, 3.7 miles off. December rain is sustained and moderate rather than intense, and Johnson Creek has a reputation for flooding that has more to do with a low-gradient channel through a developed watershed than with any single storm. Weeks of continuous rain saturate the basin, and then an ordinary system produces a rise that a dry-basin storm would not.
Common water damage problems in Gresham
- A low-gradient creek through a developed watershed that floods on antecedent conditions
- Ground that changes from free-draining gravel to heavy volcanic soil across short distances
- Months of continuous winter rain with no dry interval for crawl spaces to recover
- Sustained saturation rather than intense storms, so damage develops without an event to mark it
