Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Dubuque were built and the answer is 1963 at the median, 77.4 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1963 with more than three quarters of the stock older, the bluffs were mined for lead long before the houses went up, leaving shafts, drifts and prospect holes that were closed over rather than filled.
Climate & seasonal risk
June brings 5.64 of the 38.83 inches Dubuque sees in a normal year, and July averages 74.3 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at DUBUQUE L&D 11, 4.2 miles away. June is the wettest month at 5.64 inches of a 39-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain arrives in early summer; water finding an old working goes down it rather than across the surface.
How water losses tend to end in Dubuque
- Voids under the ground with no record of where, so their locations are discovered rather than known
- Surface water draining into a working, so it disappears and reappears somewhere unrelated
- Collapse into an old shaft, so ground can drop rather than settle
