Gutter and downspout size for Newman rain
Gutters are sized for the worst few minutes of a storm, not for the year. In Newman the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 2.15 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 6). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 3,350 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 6,700, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook. Try your own roof in the gutter and downspout calculator, which starts from this figure.
Newman is dry by national standards, about 12 inches in a normal year, but much of the rain that does come can arrive in short, hard storms: the five-minute downpour expected once in ten years still runs at 2.15 inches an hour. Where gutters are used here, the job is moving that burst away from the foundation, and keeping a dry season’s dust and debris from blocking the first storm.

Half the homes in Newman were built by 1997, 23% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). With homes this new, the gutters are usually the builder’s originals; keeping them clear matters more than replacing them.
75% of households own their home, and 85% of homes are detached houses, 3% townhouses. Where an HOA governs the exterior, its rules on gutter color and style apply before any order is placed.
