What drying runs into in St. Joseph

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
