What fails in Bokeelia
Serving Bokeelia and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Built around a median year of 1990, about half of the housing (49.6 percent) in Bokeelia is older than 1990, so much of it was fitted for cooling the way builders of the early 1990s went about it. About a third of the homes are held for seasonal use and about a quarter are manufactured, and where a manufactured home closed for the summer has thin gypsum ceiling panels fastened between its roof trusses, those panels take up the trapped humid air for months and begin to bow between their supports.
Climate & seasonal risk
The normal dewpoint in Bokeelia stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock from July through September, reaching 75.5 in August; September is the wettest month, with 9.89 of 54.8 inches, rain recorded at SAINT JAMES CITY 0.4 SSE 13.5 miles away and dewpoint 18.5 miles away. On ground about 7 feet above sea level, a drain field laid along a saltwater canal has the canal's water close beside it, and in September, the wettest month, the rain fills what soil lies between the two until the field has nowhere to send the household's water.
What keeps buildings wet here
- Gypsum ceiling panels in manufactured homes closed for the summer, about a quarter of the homes, bowing between the trusses as they take up humid air
- Drain fields along saltwater canals, among the 261 homes with septic systems on record, with only a narrow strip of soil between field and canal to hold September's rain
- Aluminum carports and awnings fastened to manufactured homes, whose roofs empty their rain along the side of the home onto the skirting line
