What drying runs into in Evanston

Local housing stock
Only 19.9 percent of Evanston's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1953 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1953 with four in five buildings older, a great deal of the housing is arranged around a court with the building on three sides of it, and that paved area has no fall to the street; everything that lands on it leaves through a single drain connected to the building's own drainage.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Evanston gets 40.32 inches a year with May heaviest at 4.71, and the drying season runs from a 24.3-degree January to a 73.4-degree July; rain recorded at EVANSTON 1.4 N 1.4 miles away and temperatures at CHICAGO BOTANIC GARDEN 8 miles away. May is the wettest month at under five inches of a forty inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in spring; a court that has collected a winter of leaves and grit meets that rain with an inlet that has not been cleared since autumn.
How water losses tend to end in Evanston
- A paved court with no fall to the street, so everything that falls on it depends on one opening
- An inlet that collects debris through the winter, so it is at its most blocked when the heaviest rain arrives
- Ground-floor and below-grade homes opening onto that court, so the water reaches living space directly
