Iowa Conditions That Matter for Accessible Units
Across the 86 Iowa places listed here (NOAA 1991–2020 normals by nearest station, Census TIGER coastline):
- None of the 86 listed places are in the wet band for rain
- All 43 places with snowfall data average 20+ inches of snow
- None of the 86 listed places are within 5 km of a shoreline (TIGER)
Snow is the main route problem in most of the state: clear the route and ramp at full width after every storm.
Range Across the State
Across the 86 listed Iowa places with this figure (NOAA 1991–2020 normals), the low end is about 27 inches of precipitation a year (Spencer and Spirit Lake) and the high end about 39 (Manchester); the middle place is near 36.
By Climate Region
All listed Iowa places with a climate-region assignment fall in one DOE Building America region, Cold (86 places): routes and ramps cleared of snow and ice.
Most Days With an Inch of Precipitation
Among listed Iowa places with 10,000 or more residents, ranked by NOAA 1991–2020 normals. Frequent heavy rain is the main threat to a firm, accessible route on grass or soil. Places that share a NOAA station show the same figure; ties are listed alphabetically.
- Newton: about 10 days a year with 1 inch or more (NOAA 1991–2020 normals, Des Moines 17 E, IA station)
- Pella: about 10 days a year with 1 inch or more (NOAA 1991–2020 normals, Des Moines 17 E, IA station)
- Burlington: about 10 days a year with 1 inch or more (NOAA 1991–2020 normals, Burlington Muni. Airport, IA station)
- Davenport: about 10 days a year with 1 inch or more (NOAA 1991–2020 normals, Moline Quad City Intl. Airport, IL station)
- Muscatine: about 10 days a year with 1 inch or more (NOAA 1991–2020 normals, Moline Quad City Intl. Airport, IL station)
How Many Accessible Units
At least 5% of the units in each cluster must be accessible, rounded up (U.S. Access Board guide to the ADA Standards):
| Units in the cluster | Accessible units (minimum) |
|---|---|
| 1 to 20 | 1 |
| 21 to 40 | 2 |
| 41 to 60 | 3 |
| 61 to 80 | 4 |
Worked example: the PSAI chart gives 38 units for 5,000 people over six hours. In one cluster, 5% of 38 is 1.9, so 2 accessible units; split into two clusters of 19, each needs 1, so 2; split into three clusters of 13, 13 and 12, each needs 1, so 3. Spreading units out can raise the count.
Who Handles Local Rules
For a public event on public land, including where the accessible units and their route will go, the government to ask depends on where the site is. Of the 86 listed Iowa places, 86 are incorporated. In an incorporated place, ask the city, town, village or borough; in an unincorporated community, ask the county. We don't say whether a permit is needed; each city page names who to ask.
What to Ask For
- How many units are in each cluster (at least 5% accessible, rounded up)
- A firm, level, accessible route to the door
- Ramps for any level change
- Placement next to the main restroom row
