What Roswell's numbers say about roofing

With 23 hail reports within 10 miles in 2016–2025, roofs of every age take hits here — new architectural shingles beside twenty-year-old three-tabs, and hail doesn't check the install date.

Roswell is split across 2 ZIP codes: 30075 (56% of the city's land), 30076 (38% of the city's land)[5].

The closest tracked neighbours are Alpharetta (5.0 mi NE), Dunwoody (7.1 mi S) and Sandy Springs (7.5 mi S)[3].

Observers filed 23 hail reports within 10 miles of central Roswell in 2016–2025, on 13 storm days across 6 years[1] — the 3rd-most of the 15 Atlanta-area suburbs we cover; Alpharetta (23), Dunwoody (20), and Sandy Springs (20) for comparison. 22 were severe-size, 1 inch or more[6], and 1 reached golf-ball size (1.75″).

Biggest: 1.75-inch on Jun 26, 2025, 2.2 miles N of the center. Latest: Jun 27, 2025, 1.0-inch[1]. Reports peak in June and August.

100 damaging-wind reports came from within 10 miles in 2016–2025, peaking at 71 mph (measured) on Feb 28, 2024[1]. 5 tornado reports also fall inside that radius[1].

Median home value: $567,100 (the 6th-highest of the 15 Atlanta-area suburbs we cover); 59% of housing is detached houses[4].
