Local housing stock
The median home in Alton dates to 1953, and 88.2 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Brick on limestone-cut cellars and later frame on the lock-pool flats, a 1953 median with nearly nine in ten units standing before 1990, stepped from Melvin Price up the bluff through Leverett Place.

May is the wettest month here at 5.46 inches, part of an annual 41.87 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from ALTON - MELVIN PRICE L&D, 2.6 miles off. May is the wettest month at 5.46 inches of a 41.87 inch year, recorded at the lock itself. On this pool that rain has no drop: the dam holds the river, the flats are fill, and a cellar cut into the limestone takes seepage from the bluff while the lock pool wets the terrace from the other side.
