What shapes a project in Fall River
Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.
Triple-deckers and pre-war stock
About 46% of Fall River's housing units were built before 1940 and about 78% before 1980. Only about 7% were built in 2000 or later. About 34% are in three- or four-unit buildings, and about 65% of homes are renter-occupied.
Higher wind, lower snow
The residential code sets Fall River's design wind speed at 128 mph, higher than Boston's 120 mph, and its ground snow load at 30 psf, the lowest of the cities in this guide. Siding, windows and roofing should be specified for that wind speed.
