From 'The Corners' to a Compact City
Clawson was first settled in 1829 and known informally as 'Pumachug' and 'The Corners' before Governor Albert Sleeper approved its village charter on May 29, 1920; it became a city in 1940 and remains one of the area's smaller, denser communities, with a 2020 population of 11,389.
Small Lots Mean Water Has Fewer Places to Go
A compact city built out mostly between the 1920s and 1940s packs homes closer together than Troy's later subdivisions, which means less permeable ground between properties and less room for water to spread out before it reaches a foundation.

What a Clawson Estimate Should Cover
Given how tightly Clawson's lots are spaced, a scope should look at how a neighboring property's grading and downspouts route water, not just the subject property's own drainage.
