Local housing stock
About 11,342 of the 14,574 homes in Key West were finished before 1990, around a median of 1968; a home's age can show in where its condensate drains and what its floor sits on. Under a wood frame house raised on piers, the outdoor air moves freely and rises through the gaps between the boards, and where the house is one of the about one in seven held for seasonal use and closed, it reaches rooms with no cooling running to dry it.
Climate & seasonal risk
From June through September, any surface in a Key West building cooler than 70 degrees, a supply duct or a cold water line, sits below the normal outdoor dewpoint at every hour; 46.49 inches fall in a normal year, 8.01 of them in September, rain recorded at KEY WEST 0.5 SW 0.6 miles away and dewpoint at KEY WEST INTL AP 1.6 miles away. With the city's center about a mile from the open coast and under 5 feet above sea level, September's rain arrives on a salt wind, and the wood porch floors and steps of raised frame houses hold both at the joints where they meet the house.
What keeps buildings wet here
- Raised wood frame houses closed for the season, about one home in seven, where humid air rises from beneath through the gaps in the floorboards
- Wood porch floors and steps on raised houses, where rain and salt on the wind collect at the joint with the house wall
- Ductless wall units added to houses of the late 1960s, whose condensate lines may run inside the wall and wet it wherever a fitting lets go
