Local housing stock
94.5 percent of Takoma Park's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1954, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1954 with nearly 95 percent of the stock older, the neighborhoods are covered by a mature canopy the city maintains deliberately, with substantial trees standing within a few feet of foundations and roofs.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 48.03 inches, 5.22 of them in June, against a warm season that peaks at 80.3 degrees in July; rain recorded at TAKOMA PARK 0.6 NNW 0.8 miles away and temperatures at NATL ARBORETUM DC 4.9 miles away. June is the wettest month at 5.22 inches of a 48-inch year and three months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain arrives in early summer when the canopy is in full leaf and dropping debris continuously.
How water losses tend to end in Takoma Park
- Very large trees close to the buildings, so roots are under foundations and limbs over roofs
- Removal that is controlled, so a problem tree cannot simply be taken down
- Continuous leaf and seed fall, so gutters and drainage load up faster than elsewhere
