Half the housing predates 1984, and the 2000s were the busiest building years at 671 homes.

Why foundations move in Tonganoxie
The soil this town is built on
The survey inside the city limits reads as urban fill rather than a natural series, which is normal for ground this built up, so the honest figure is the county one: across Leavenworth County the USDA survey is Pawnee at about 10 percent of the survey, with Shelby and Grundy alongside it. Broken down by texture it is 79 percent clay and 12 percent silt. Linear extensibility, the measure of how much a soil swells when it takes on water and shrinks when it dries, is weighted at 6.61 percent here, which USDA reads as high shrink swell potential. Karst features are mapped in this area, so voids and sinkhole risk are part of the inspection.
The seasonal cycle here
In eastern Kansas the driver is different from the frost story further north: expansive clay pockets sit near the surface and change volume through the year whatever the frost line is doing, so horizontal cracking here usually traces to clay expansion rather than frost pressure.
The age of the housing
The 2000s put up more homes than any other decade, 671 of them, and the median year built is 1984. The 1,067 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where drainage was rarely engineered and backfill was rarely compacted. Of the owner occupied homes, 78 percent carry a mortgage.
