The housing stock behind Champaign County's wiring
Housing age is destiny for wiring, and the record the Census keeps for this footprint is specific: a median home built in 1979, 26.2% of the stock from before 1960, 51.1% from before 1980. Inside Champaign County, that history concentrates the way it does everywhere — oldest near the founding settlements and the early corridors, youngest at the subdivisions still filling in. The electrical consequences are the metro's, felt at county scale: ageing panels where the stock is old, modern loads asking new questions where it is young. For Champaign County specifically, the practical translation is simple: your street's build decade predicts your panel's generation better than any metro average can.
