Gutter and downspout size for Baldwin rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In Baldwin the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 10.70 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 9). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 670 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,350, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.

The houses in Baldwin
Half the homes in Baldwin were built by 1990, 38% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). Houses that age have often had their gutters replaced once already; if not, the original runs and the boards behind them deserve a close look.
54% of households own their home, and 75% of homes are detached houses. In a townhouse or HOA community, check who owns the gutters and what colors are allowed before booking.
