The housing stock behind Polk County's wiring
What the numbers mean at the panel, for a county inside this metro: 105,190 of the footprint's homes predate 1980, built when panels were smaller and circuits fewer; 119,370 arrived since 2000 with modern service sizes. Polk County contains its own proportion of both — and a homeowner here can place their street in the ledger by its build decade alone, which is also how the electricians serving the county triage what they are likely to find. Its neighbours - Osceola County, Hillsborough and Orange County - hold the same bands in different proportions, which is why their pages read differently from this one.

Position matters at the margins: the metro's only covered county, Polk County takes the metro's storm seasons from the south-east side of the footprint.
