The housing stock behind Houston County's wiring
Consider what the median build year of 1983 hides: a county of 580 square miles holds farmhouses, founding-era streets, tract suburbs and new estates side by side, each wired to the standard of its decade. Houston County's pages in that spread are its own, which is why its electrical patterns are ranked for the metro but read at county scale. Its neighbours - Henry County, Geneva County and Washington County - hold the same bands in different proportions, which is why their pages read differently from this one.
The climate Houston County wiring works under
Climate loads a county's wiring in three ways, and DOTHAN RGNL AP, AL US's record sizes all three for Houston County: duration (1,633 heating and 2,686 cooling degree days of equipment run-time), extremes (89.3 hot days, 21.0 freezing nights), and events (53.85 inches of precipitation arriving in storm seasons). Panels, circuits and service equipment across the county's 580 square miles are all working inside those three numbers. Neighbours Henry County, Geneva County and Washington County read the same record off the same station - the weather is the one thing counties here fully share.
