A 1990s boom town that the census counts by ZIP code
Falcon is not a Census-designated place. Its post office ran from 1888 to 1942 and the area has used the Peyton ZIP code ever since, so the figures on this page are for ZIP code 80831 (Falcon and Peyton), ACS 2024 5-year: 33,912 residents, 11,332 occupied homes, a median year built of 2006, 69.8% of units built in 2000 or later, and 92.2% owner-occupancy, the highest in our main service area.
Development accelerated in the early 1990s and the population nearly doubled between 1990 and 2000; residents rejected incorporation by 78% in 2007, so Falcon remains unincorporated El Paso County. Elevation is 6,831 feet. In Meridian Ranch, Title 32 metro districts formed in 2000 handle water, wastewater “including stormwater” and parks, while HOA design review is separate, run by Warren Management Group; Woodmen Hills is the other named neighborhood.
Plains hail, divide snow and swelling soils
Most 2005–2020 production homes here came with 5-inch aluminum gutters sized to the plan, not the roof. Falcon sits on open plains east of Colorado Springs; adjacent Banning Lewis Ranch reported large hail on July 28, 2016, a $352.8 million storm (RMIIA), and the 2023 hail season produced over 17,000 re-roof permits across the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department’s jurisdiction, up 179% on 2022.
Snow depends on position relative to the Palmer Divide. The nearest NOAA 1991–2020 normals station, Eastonville 2 NNW about 10 miles north, records 101.7 inches of snow and 21.63 inches of precipitation a year, versus 32.5 and 15.91 inches at the Colorado Springs airport; Eastonville sits higher on the divide than Falcon, so expect something between. A statewide soil-swelling map (a secondary source) puts eastern El Paso County in the moderate-swelling class, so the Colorado Geological Survey’s rule of discharging downspouts at least 5 feet from the foundation applies even to a new slab.
Gutter services Falcon homeowners ask about most
- Upsizing to 6-inch seamless. Seamless gutter installation in 6-inch K-style adds about $3–$5 per foot over 5-inch for the July–August cloudbursts.
- Replacement after hail. Gutter replacement, typically $4–$13 per linear foot for seamless aluminum; steel $7–$12.
- Heat cable on exposed eaves. On north-facing roof edges toward the divide, heat cable and ice-dam prevention typically runs $900–$1,800.
- HOA color approval. Covenant communities review exterior changes, so ask the design review committee about gutter color before ordering.
Typical ranges from HomeAdvisor (2026), Fixr (2025) and a Colorado Springs cost directory (2025) — estimates, not quotes; see the cost guide.
Falcon is unincorporated El Paso County, so building matters go to the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department (PPRBD). PPRBD has no gutter license class and gutters do not appear in its permit lists, so stand-alone gutter work generally needs no permit or license; confirm with PPRBD for your project. Ask every company for proof of liability insurance and workers’ comp, an itemized written quote (material, gauge, width, hanger spacing, downspout count) and warranty terms in writing.
Falcon gutter questions
Why do the Falcon figures on this page say ZIP 80831?
Because the Census Bureau does not tabulate Falcon as a place. The Falcon post office closed in 1942 and the community uses the Peyton ZIP code, so the only housing data at Falcon’s scale is for ZIP code tabulation area 80831, which covers Falcon and Peyton together (ACS 2024 5-year). The Peyton CDP itself counts 139 people, so the ZIP figures describe the Falcon housing boom far better.
Does my Falcon HOA have to approve new gutters?
Check your covenants. In Meridian Ranch, HOA design review is separate from the metro district that handles stormwater. Most covenant communities treat a gutter color or profile change as an exterior modification. Colorado’s CCIOA (38-33.3-106.5(3)) says an association cannot prohibit fire-hardened building materials, but it can still enforce color and style standards. This is general information, not legal advice.
How much snow should Falcon gutters be built for?
There is no NOAA normals station in Falcon itself. The nearest, Eastonville 2 NNW about 10 miles north, averages 101.7 inches of snow a year (NOAA 1991–2020), while the Colorado Springs airport averages 32.5 inches; Eastonville sits higher on the Palmer Divide than Falcon, so expect something between the two. Ask installers about hanger spacing, heavier-gauge aluminum or steel, and whether snow guards or heat cable suit your roof’s exposure.
