The housing stock behind Contra Costa County's wiring
The housing record for the San Francisco metro — the footprint Contra Costa County belongs to — reads: 1,866,271 housing units, a median build year of 1967, 67.5% of homes from before 1980 and 14.0% built since 2000. A county's share of that stock is never the average share: counties holding the metro's historic core carry its oldest panels and wiring generations, while counties at the growth edge carry its newest. Where Contra Costa County sits in that spread is written on its streets — in the build decades of its neighbourhoods — and it is the first thing a local electrician reads on arrival. Inside Contra Costa County, that ledger is local: drive from its oldest streets to its newest subdivisions - 27 miles north-east of the metro centre - and the panels age and modernise with the scenery.
The climate Contra Costa County wiring works under
Neighbouring counties share this sky almost exactly - Alameda County, Solano County and San Joaquin County work under the same normals - yet the electrical outcomes differ by housing, which is the recurring lesson of this site's data: climate sets the load, building eras decide what the load breaks. The county's 717 square miles take that record whole; there is no milder version of it inside the county line.
