San Francisco at a glance
Lower flood risk. Fog moisture is the primary concern here.
The city's famous fog keeps ambient humidity high year-round regardless of rainfall totals, and neighborhoods built on reclaimed marshland or bay fill (parts of the Marina and SoMa) sit on ground with a naturally higher water table.
Victorian and Edwardian homes built before 1920 still carry original galvanized plumbing in many cases, and their raised foundations create crawlspaces that hold onto the city's near-constant fog moisture.
The Marina District, built partly on reclaimed bay fill from the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition, suffered severe soil liquefaction and building damage, a reminder of how the ground under some SF neighborhoods behaves differently than solid bedrock.
