The housing stock behind DeKalb County's wiring
The stock figures also explain the service mix a county generates. Where DeKalb County's share of the metro's 662,312 pre-1980 homes is dense, panel and wiring-generation work leads; where its share of the 910,986 post-2000 homes dominates, the calls are about capacity for new loads instead. Both shares exist here - their proportions are the county's signature. Inside DeKalb County, that ledger is local: drive from its oldest streets to its newest subdivisions - 7 miles east of the metro centre - and the panels age and modernise with the scenery.
