Local housing stock
Roughly 23,790 of McAllen's 55,385 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1995; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1995 with under half the stock older, the houses sit on slabs over clay in a climate that gives almost no rain, so the only water the ground gets is what the household puts on the planting, and that reaches the perimeter only.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a August job at one pace and a January job at another, 88 degrees against 60.4; the 27.37 inches a year peak in September at 4.83, rain recorded at MCALLEN 2.4 NE 2.2 miles away and temperatures at MCALLEN 2.3 miles away. September is the wettest month at under five inches of a twenty-seven inch year with no freezing month and a warm season near a hundred, so natural rainfall does very little; the soil under these floors is wet at the edges and dry in the middle by human choice.
How water losses tend to end in McAllen
- Soil kept wet at the perimeter and dry in the middle, so the slab is supported on ground in two different states
- Clay that swells where it is watered, so the edges of the floor lift relative to the center
- A pattern created by irrigation rather than weather, so it is the same on every watered lot
