Local housing stock
The median home in Tampa was built in 1985, with 55.7 percent standing before 1990; when a house went up tends to decide where its air handler sits and how far its ducts run through attic heat. West Tampa's older housing is mostly wood frame rowhouses and bungalows on low brick piers, which leave only a shallow gap between a cooled floor and the damp ground and still air beneath it.
Climate & seasonal risk
Tampa spends two months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, in July and August; of 49.48 inches in a normal year, 9.03 fall in August, both figures recorded at TAMPA INTL AP, 3.7 miles away. Some 563 of the city's storm drains empty into tidal water, so when the wettest month's downpours arrive on a high tide, the rain can wait behind submerged outfalls and spread across the low streets near the bay and the Hillsborough River.
What keeps buildings wet here
- Wood frame rowhouses and bungalows in West Tampa set on low brick piers, with little room beneath the floor for damp air to move away from the joists
- The Mediterranean Revival buildings of Davis Islands, mostly hollow clay tile under stucco, whose hollow cells can hold rain that gets past a cracked or worn finish
- Storm drains that discharge into tidal water, where a downpour at high tide leaves rain standing at garage doors and slabs in the lowest streets
- A condensate line or shared wall carrying one unit's water sideways into the next, in buildings of ten or more units that hold over a quarter of the city's homes
