Gutter and downspout size for South Park rain
Gutters are sized for the worst few minutes of a storm, not for the year. In South Park the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 3.26 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 12). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 2,210 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 4,420, 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.
South Park averages about 78 inches of snow a year (NOAA normals). Snow on a roof brings ice dams: heat escaping from the house melts the snow, and the water refreezes at the cold eave, in the gutter and over it. University of Minnesota Extension puts the cause in the attic, not in the gutter, so a gutter that fills with ice is a symptom; hangers spaced to carry ice and a sound fascia are what the gutter itself needs.
The houses in South Park
Half the homes in South Park were built by 1999, 17% 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.
98% of households own their home, and 100% of homes are detached houses. Where an HOA governs the exterior, its rules on gutter color and style apply before any order is placed.
