Local housing stock
Close to nine in ten of the housing here predates 1990 — 85.9 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1957. Mid-century and older housing occupies the narrow flat at the confluence and climbs the hillsides above it. Those two settings behave completely differently: the flat carries river exposure with warning, and the slopes carry runoff and hillside drainage that arrives within minutes.
Climate & seasonal risk
July alone accounts for 11.6 percent of the 46.24 inches this area sees in an average year, on 1991–2020 normals recorded 3.1 miles away at CHARLESTON YEAGER AP. July brings the wettest month, and the confluence governs the low ground. Two rivers draining different catchments meet here, so the local level depends on whether they rise together, while the valley walls deliver runoff to the flat almost immediately.
Common water damage problems in Charleston
- A confluence where the local level turns on whether both catchments peak together
- Steep valley walls delivering runoff to the flat within minutes
- Hillside foundations holding back saturated ground on the uphill side
- Mid-century cellars on the flat, close to a table that rises with the rivers
