The housing stock behind Mercer County's wiring
A county-level reading of the ledger: Mercer County is the 14th largest of the 33 covered counties in Illinois, and across its 561 square miles the metro's era mix sorts itself by settlement history - pre-war cores, post-war rings, late-century subdivisions, current growth edges. An electrician driving the county drives through the decades in order. The county's own share of those bands is what its 561 square miles contain, from founding-era streets to the growth edge.
The climate Mercer County wiring works under
The climate record is kept at MOLINE QUAD CITY INTL AP, IL US, the NOAA station for this metro: 6,024 heating degree days and 1,040 cooling degree days in an average year, 38.27 inches of precipitation, 22.2 days at 90 degrees or more against 128.7 nights at or below freezing. Mercer County lives under that same sky. Its electrical meaning is practical: heating and cooling equipment sets the load peaks, storm seasons test the service connection, and the extremes — not the averages — are when marginal systems in the county announce themselves. Neighbours Rock Island County, Scott County and Henry County read the same record off the same station - the weather is the one thing counties here fully share.
