The housing stock behind Ford County's wiring
Consider what the median build year of 1979 hides: a county of 486 square miles holds farmhouses, founding-era streets, tract suburbs and new estates side by side, each wired to the standard of its decade. Ford County's pages in that spread are its own, which is why its electrical patterns are ranked for the metro but read at county scale. The county's own share of those bands is what its 486 square miles contain, from founding-era streets to the growth edge.
The climate Ford County wiring works under
The sky over Ford County is measured, not guessed: NOAA's normals at RANTOUL, IL US put the average year at 52.3 degrees with 40.35 inches of precipitation. For the county's electrical systems that translates into two load seasons and a storm exposure, all of which show up in the problem ranking on the Champaign city page. Local conditions vary by exposure and elevation inside the county; the record is the shared baseline every system in it was built under. The county's 486 square miles take that record whole; there is no milder version of it inside the county line.
