The housing stock behind Butte County's wiring
Within Butte County itself, the era question has a geography: the oldest stock stands where the county first settled and along its earliest road corridors, the newest at the subdivisions still being wired today. The metro's bands - 49.4% pre-1980 against 20.9% since 2000 - are the backdrop; the county's own streets decide which band a given home falls in. For Butte County specifically, the practical translation is simple: your street's build decade predicts your panel's generation better than any metro average can.
