Flood plains can have "hundred year floods" that wash away everything in their path, unless the watershed drainage has been amended by engineers. Even if no one remembers a big flood, the absence of housing in an otherwise populated space is indicative. Often, it can take several tries to make such a place reasonable for housing.
