Local housing stock
Of roughly 21,610 housing units, about 15,667 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1968. Three quarters predates 1990, on crawl spaces and basements across ground that falls steeply into several small catchments. Those catchments respond within the hour rather than over days.
Climate & seasonal risk
The nearest long-term record — CHARLOTTESVILLE 2W, 2 miles out — puts the annual normal at 48.53 inches, with September heaviest at 5.21. September leads at over five inches within forty-nine for the year, with the heaviest events arriving as tropical remnants. Small steep catchments turn that into a flash response.
Common water damage problems in Charlottesville
- Small steep catchments that respond within the hour rather than over days
- A stream reopened and rebuilt, so the mapping and the memory disagree
- Older neighborhoods where drainage predates any stormwater requirement
- Piedmont clay and rock near the surface, shedding rather than absorbing
