Homes and gutters
The houses in Caledonia, and what they mean for the gutters
The Census counts only about 112 occupied homes in Caledonia; read the shares here as a profile, not a precise measure. Boone County's figures sit beside them for scale.
Older houses set the pattern in Caledonia. 75.8% of homes were built before 1960, against 25.5% across Boone County, and the median year built is 1938. Neighborhoods that old usually have a mature canopy over the roofs, and the leaf load in the gutters shows it each November. Older homes can also have small 2 by 3 inch downspouts or built-in box gutters, both worth a look at cleaning time.
32.1% of occupied homes in Caledonia are rented (Boone County: 18.2%). Landlords here benefit from a standing spring and fall schedule rather than waiting for a tenant to report overflow. See rental property gutter cleaning.
Single-family detached houses are 87.1% of the housing here. Each has its own full run of gutters front and back, typically 150 to 200 feet by HomeGuide's count.
12.9% of homes in Caledonia are mobile homes, whose low rooflines make for short ladder work but light-gauge gutters that bend easily.

Leaves and local rules
What happens to the leaves in Caledonia
The village does not publish leaf collection or burning rules online. Boone County's rules for unincorporated land do not automatically apply inside a village, so ask the village before burning.
Under every local rule sits the state one: since 1990, landscape waste can't be mixed with trash bound for a landfill and must go out in biodegradable containers (415 ILCS 5/22.22). So gutter debris in Caledonia goes out as yard waste, into a compost pile, or away with the crew.
