Local housing stock
Building in Newton clusters in the early 1940s: the median unit dates to 1942, with 85 percent finished before 1990. Five sixths of the housing predates 1990, a great deal of it substantial older houses on generous lots with full basements. Buildings of that size have long roof runs and complex rooflines, so there is a great deal more flashing, valley and gutter to fail than on a simple post-war house.
Climate & seasonal risk
Of the 49.36 inches that arrive in an average year, 5.08 fall in December; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 4.7 miles away at JAMAICA PLAIN. December brings the wettest month just as the ground closes with frost, so very little soaks in. Heavy leaf fall through the autumn blocks gutters and area drains at precisely the point in the year when the rain becomes persistent and the ground stops absorbing.

- Complex older rooflines with far more flashing and valley to fail than newer housing
