Local housing stock
Of roughly 2,292 housing units, about 2,265 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1943. Dense borough housing on narrow lots fills almost the whole municipality, nearly all of it pre-war and on stone or early poured cellars. Lots are tight enough that one property's roof discharge frequently lands within a few feet of the next building's foundation.
Climate & seasonal risk
The nearest long-term record — READING 3.5 SW, 1.5 miles out — puts the annual normal at 51.93 inches, with June heaviest at 5.6. June brings the wettest month at more than five inches, and the creek through the borough drains a developed catchment above it. Steep ground on either side delivers runoff quickly, and the channel has very little room to spread between built-up blocks.
Common water damage problems in Shillington
- A creek confined between built-up blocks with almost no room to spread
- Narrow lots where one roof discharges against the neighboring foundation
- Nearly the entire stock pre-war, on cellars built without drainage provision
- Steep surrounding ground delivering runoff to the channel within minutes
