Detected stormwater assets from OpenStreetMap data
National benchmark: 20/sq mi
Only 30 assets detected -- significant infrastructure likely undocumented
At 2.83 assets per square mile, Woodstock is far below the national benchmark of 20 assets per square mile.

The inference engine uses standard engineering spacing rules, the Rational Method (Q = CiA with C=0.52, i=4.2 in/hr), and Manning's equation to predict hidden infrastructure between detected assets. Gaps exceeding 1.5x the standard maximum spacing for the calculated pipe diameter are flagged as locations where additional catch basins or manholes likely exist. Drainage area: 6,784 acres.
How This Works
StormSight analyzes spacing gaps between detected assets using municipal engineering standards (max 325 ft for 21" pipe). When gaps exceed the threshold, we predict missing infrastructure and size connecting pipes using the Rational Method for peak flow (Q = CiA) and Manning's Equation for pipe diameter. Every prediction shows its full reasoning chain.

Composite assessment of stormwater infrastructure health
Overall Score: 59.8/100
This municipality received an overall StormSight grade of D (59.8/100), indicating below-average stormwater infrastructure health requiring attention. Key strengths include low flood exposure, regulatory compliance, grant eligibility. Areas of concern: significant gaps in infrastructure documentation; limited maintenance vendor ecosystem. With a population of 26,084 across 10.6 square miles, this community's stormwater needs are moderate.
2.8 assets/sq mi is far below the benchmark of 22. Major data gaps likely exist.
Impervious surface data not yet available. Score reflects uncertainty.
Low flood risk. 24 total NFIP claims (0.9 per 1,000 residents) is below the regional average.
Clean compliance record with 0 quarters in violation. Last inspection: Unknown.
No vendor or maintenance data available from public records. Score reflects limited visibility.
Strong grant readiness: 8 eligible programs totaling up to $661.8M in available funding.
