Local housing stock
About three quarters of the housing here predates 1990 — 76.1 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1966. Frame and brick on full basements, median 1966, split between bluff-top lots and the industrial terraces along the river.
Climate & seasonal risk
The nearest long-term record — PEORIA 5NW, 0.2 miles out — puts the annual normal at 39.73 inches, with June heaviest at 4.7. June's 4.7 inches on a loess bluff runs the ravines in minutes. Lower-terrace basements then take a pulse of water that never fell on their roofs, while bluff-top houses take the loess itself as it pipes and collapses into those same ravines.
Common moisture and mold problems in Peoria
- Loess piping and collapsing into ravines after a June cloudburst, taking yard and foundation with it
- Lower-terrace basements receiving concentrated runoff from a whole bluff they do not sit on
- Illinois River high water holding the terrace water table up against 1960s basement walls
- Bluff-top downspouts discharging toward a ravine that is already the lot's unstable edge
