What drying runs into in Davenport
Serving Davenport and the surrounding area, including Black Hawk, Village of East Davenport, Eagle Point, Cross Creek Condominiums, Windor Crest Heights, Park Lawn, Mclellan Heights.
Local housing stock
Roughly 36,119 of Davenport's 46,849 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1967; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1967 with more than three quarters of the stock older, the riverfront neighborhoods sit open to the water, because the city chose not to build the permanent barrier that its neighbors upstream and downstream did.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Davenport gets 38.77 inches a year with June heaviest at 4.96, and the drying season runs from a 22.2-degree January to a 74.4-degree July; rain recorded at DAVENPORT 0.9 WNW 1.1 miles away and temperatures at ROCK ISLAND L&D 15 3.4 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.96 inches of a 39-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the local rainfall is ordinary; what floods these streets is snow and rain falling across several states upstream weeks earlier.
How water losses tend to end in Davenport
- An open riverfront, so a rise reaches the streets directly rather than being held back
- Temporary barriers put up each time, so the protection depends on warning and on labor
- A rise driven from far upstream, so the weather here gives no indication of what is coming
