What drying runs into in Lawnton

Local housing stock
79.1 percent of Lawnton's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1976, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1976 with nearly eight in ten houses older, the houses occupy a strip of flat ground between the water and a raised rail line, with very little width and no high ground within reach.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 45.23 inches, 4.81 of them in July, against a warm season that peaks at 74.9 degrees in July; both figures recorded at HARRISBURG 1 NE, 4 miles away. July is the wettest month at 4.81 inches of a 45-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in summer; water arriving on a terrace with a bank on one side and a river on the other has nowhere to spread.
How water losses tend to end in Lawnton
- A strip of ground closed on both sides, so runoff is confined rather than dispersing
- A rail embankment acting as a wall, so water is held against the back of the properties
- Drainage passing through a few openings under the line, so everything depends on those staying clear
