The housing stock behind Boone County's wiring
Read the county through the metro's Census profile: 134,604 households across the footprint, 67.8% of homes owner-occupied, and era bands of 50,819 homes before 1960, 38,913 from 1960-1979, 33,976 from 1980-1999 and 21,344 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. Boone County's own mix follows its building history, street by street. The county's own share of those bands is what its 281 square miles contain, from founding-era streets to the growth edge.
The climate Boone County wiring works under
Position modifies the record: Boone County sits 9 miles east of the Rockford centre, and exposure follows position - the county's open edges take the storm seasons differently from the metro's built-up core, and its low ground and high ground split the freeze and flood patterns between them. The station numbers are the baseline; the county's terrain deals them out. The county's 281 square miles take that record whole; there is no milder version of it inside the county line.
