Local housing stock
Of roughly 3,935 housing units, about 3,504 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1948. Pre-war and mid-century frame housing over stone and early poured cellars fills a small city on high plateau ground. Being close to a drainage divide means the streams here are headwaters rather than rivers: small, steep, and quick to respond, with no large upstream basin to moderate them.
Climate & seasonal risk
June alone accounts for 11 percent of the 42.42 inches this area sees in an average year, on 1991–2020 normals recorded 8.4 miles away at DUBOIS JEFFERSON CO AP. June brings the wettest month as convective storms on plateau ground where the streams are small and the gradients are steep. A headwater creek rises within minutes of a hard cell and drops just as fast, which gives no warning and produces an event measured in hours rather than days.
Common water damage problems in DuBois
- Headwater streams that rise within minutes and give no useful warning
- Steep plateau gradients concentrating runoff quickly into small channels
- Cellars dug for coal and cold storage, with stone walls never meant to be tight
- Deep seasonal frost acting on saturated foundations through the winter
