Local housing stock
Of roughly 483,071 housing units, about 216,667 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1994. West-side houses sit on thin limestone, often slab or older pier-and-beam; east-side slabs sit on Blackland clay. Water enters as creek overflow, as limestone runoff that never soaks, or as clay that opens at the slab edge after a dry spell.
Climate & seasonal risk
Of the 36.25 inches that arrive in an average year, 5.04 fall in May; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 1.6 miles away at AUSTIN-CAMP MABRY. This is Flash Flood Alley. A May cell on the escarpment turns a dry creek into a street in minutes, and the same rain on the clay side ponds against the slab because the ground will not take it.
