The housing stock behind New Castle County's wiring
Read the county through the metro's Census profile: 2,445,882 households across the footprint, 67.0% of homes owner-occupied, and era bands of 1,131,980 homes before 1960, 623,371 from 1960-1979, 490,351 from 1980-1999 and 362,546 since 2000. Those bands are the county's electrical inheritance in waiting: the pre-1980 bands bring panel-capacity and wiring-generation questions; the newer bands bring device wear and EV-readiness questions. New Castle County's own mix follows its building history, street by street. Its neighbours - Salem County, Cecil County and Delaware County - hold the same bands in different proportions, which is why their pages read differently from this one.

Neighbours Salem County, Cecil County and Delaware County read the same record off the same station - the weather is the one thing counties here fully share.
