Local housing stock
Roughly two thirds of the housing here predates 1990 — 69.7 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1974. Seven in ten homes predate 1990, spread across a valley floor and the ridges that run through the city. Ridge and valley terrain means elevation changes sharply over short distances, so a single neighborhood can contain properties with river exposure, properties with hillside runoff, and properties with neither.
Climate & seasonal risk
December is the wettest month here at 5.91 inches, part of an annual 55.8 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from KNOXVILLE EXP STN, 5 miles off. December brings the heaviest rain in the season with the least evaporation, which keeps the ground at capacity through the winter. The river itself is regulated upstream, so its level reflects reservoir operation as well as rainfall, and the two do not always move together.
Common water damage problems in Knoxville
- River levels reflecting upstream reservoir operation as well as local rainfall
- A December peak that keeps the ground at capacity from midwinter into spring
- Sharp elevation changes within single neighborhoods, so exposure varies house to house
- Ridges shedding quickly onto valley floors after heavy winter rain
