Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in St. Joseph were built and the answer is 1962 at the median, 83.2 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1962 with more than four in five houses older, the blocks were platted with a service alley behind, and generations of resurfacing have built that strip up until it stands above the back yards on either side of it.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, St. Joseph gets 37.5 inches a year with May heaviest at 5.26, and the drying season runs from a 27.3-degree January to a 77.7-degree July; rain recorded at STN JOSEPH 2.1 NE 2 miles away and temperatures at ST JOSEPH ROSECRANS AP 5.5 miles away. May is the wettest month at 5.26 inches of a 37.5-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heavy rain arrives in spring on ground that has only just thawed; a raised alley sheds all of it down into the yards behind the houses.
How water losses tend to end in St. Joseph
- A raised paved strip behind the houses, so runoff arrives at the back of the property under its own fall
- Water coming from the rear, so the attention paid to the front of the house misses it entirely
- Public ground as the source, so the origin of the flow is not the householder's to regrade
