Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Iowa City were built and the answer is 1985 at the median, 56.1 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1985 with just over half the stock older, the older neighborhoods are built along bluffs of bedded limestone, where foundations are cut into or bear directly on rock a short way beneath the surface.
Climate & seasonal risk
June brings 5.29 of the 35.68 inches Iowa City sees in a normal year, and July averages 75.8 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at IOWA CITY MUNI AP, 1.7 miles away. June is the wettest month at 5.29 inches of a 36-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in early summer; thin soil over bedded rock fills quickly and then sends everything along the bedding.
How water losses tend to end in Iowa City
- Water traveling along bedding planes, so it arrives at a wall from a direction the surface does not show
- Almost no soil to absorb anything, so the ground reaches capacity within the hour
- Foundations on rock, so there is nothing beneath to drain into
