Local housing stock
Of roughly 62,021 housing units, about 37,458 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1980. The stock spans an older core near the rivers and extensive newer growth beyond, on ground that runs from the Piedmont into the sandhills. The city has taken a catastrophic flood in recent memory, so a share of the stock has been repaired at least once and the standard of that work varies.
Climate & seasonal risk
Columbia averages 48.69 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at COLUMBIA 3.1 E 5.2 miles away, with July the wettest month at 5.56 inches. July brings the wettest month as convective storms, while the most damaging events have come from tropical systems stalling over the area. Three converging rivers with impoundments above them mean the local level reflects both rainfall across several basins and how those structures are being operated.
Common water damage problems in Columbia
- Three converging rivers, so the local level depends on several basins at once
- Impoundments immediately upstream whose operation shapes downstream levels
- Housing repaired after a major flood to varying standards
- Ground running from Piedmont clay into sandhills, behaving differently across the city
