Why Tupelo homes need a local read

Tupelo is an incorporated town at the southern tip of Jackson County, laid out along the Rock Island Railway in 1884.

Setting: Tupelo sits at about 217 feet on a sandy ridge along the edge of the White River bottoms.

Water, flooding and moisture in Tupelo

Water nearby: The Cache River flows east of town, and the White River bottoms lie along the town's edge.

Flood history: In the Flood of 1927 the Cache River east of town overflowed and submerged buildings in Tupelo.

EPA's Map of Radon Zones places Jackson County in Zone 3 (predicted average indoor levels below 2 pCi/L). EPA notes that homes vary within any zone, so the map does not predict a single house.

Questions

Common questions.

How did Tupelo get its name?
The first post office was called Ibet, and the name changed to Tupelo in 1884, probably for the many tupelo trees once in the area.
How did the 1927 flood affect Tupelo?
The Cache River overflowed and submerged buildings in town.
Why do crawlspaces matter in Arkansas houses?
EPA notes that crawl spaces with high humidity are common sites of hidden mold growth, especially over bare soil, and that soil moisture raises the humidity in the air above it. Arkansas summers are humid, so crawlspace moisture is a common thing buyers ask about. EPA also advises grading the ground away from the foundation so it does not stay wet.
