Local housing stock
76.7 percent of Des Moines's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1961, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1961 with more than three quarters of the stock older, a considerable number of the older residential streets are still laid in brick, with the original curb and gutter alongside them.
Climate & seasonal risk
June brings 5.26 of the 36.55 inches Des Moines sees in a normal year, and July averages 76 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at DES MOINES INTL AP, 3.5 miles away. June is the wettest month at 5.26 inches of a 36-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the street is worked by frost through a long winter and then takes the heaviest rain of the year in early summer.
How water losses tend to end in Des Moines
- A street holding its shape while the gutter settles, so the fall between them reverses
- Water running along the curb line rather than to the basins, so it collects at low points
- A surface that flexes, so the whole profile of the street changes gradually over decades
