What drying runs into in Decatur
Serving Decatur and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Only 31.4 percent of Decatur's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1966 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1966 with nearly seven in ten houses older, the village sits where the bluff meets the river bottom, with cuts through deep wind-blown silt carrying the roads down to the flat.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 29.86 inches, 4.58 of them in May, against a warm season that peaks at 74.3 degrees in July; both figures recorded at ONAWA 3NW, 7.7 miles away. May is the wettest month at 4.58 inches of a 30-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in spring on ground coming out of the frost; a loess face takes that badly.
How water losses tend to end in Decatur
- Material that holds a vertical face and then fails as a block, so collapse is sudden
- Cuts above and beside the properties, so what fails arrives on the road or the house
- Ground that erodes into gullies quickly, so a new channel can form in one season
