What we fix
Ground under Blair is mapped silt, with a high shrink swell rating. That is soil that pushes when it is wet and pulls away when it dries.

What this looks likeLocal conditions
Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for Tekamah Municipal Airport, about 16 miles away.
Sampled inside the Blair city limits, the USDA survey reads Monona at about 40 percent of the survey, with Moville and Luton alongside it. By texture that survey runs 54 percent clay and 43 percent silt. The weighted linear extensibility figure, which is how much the soil changes volume between wet and dry, sits at 4.65 percent, a moderate shrink swell rating. Against 54 percent clay across Washington County, the city sample reads 40 percent.
The largest group of homes here by build period, 897 of them, went up before 1940; the median build year is 1972. The 2,027 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where drainage was rarely engineered and backfill was rarely compacted. 18 percent of the housing here, 561 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so a fair share of local work is on shared structures rather than single family homes. Of the owner occupied homes, 67 percent carry a mortgage.
