What drying runs into in Raceland
Serving Raceland and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Roughly 3,378 of Raceland's 4,254 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1977; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1977 with nearly eight in ten predating 1990, the housing here is strung along the natural ridge the bayou built, which means the front of a property is its highest point and the ground drops steadily toward the back.
Climate & seasonal risk
No month in Raceland has a normal low below freezing, and January is the coolest at 44.5 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in June at 8.67 inches of an annual 71.13; both figures recorded at THIBODAUX 4 SE, 9 miles away. June is the wettest month at 8.67 inches of a 71.13-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so this is among the heaviest rainfall anywhere; eight inches in a month lands on lots that carry it to the back rather than to the road.
How water losses tend to end in Raceland
- A property that drains away from the street, so the low point is behind the house rather than in front of it
- Rear yards taking water from several lots at once, so the back of a property collects more than falls on it
- Additions and outbuildings at the back sitting at the lowest point on the lot
