The housing stock behind Benton County's wiring
A county-level reading of the ledger: Benton County is the 5th largest of the 19 covered counties in Iowa, and across its 716 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. Its neighbours - Linn County, Black Hawk County and Johnson County - hold the same bands in different proportions, which is why their pages read differently from this one.
The climate Benton County wiring works under
From CEDAR RAPIDS MUNI AP, IA US's record, the working conditions over Benton County: 6,824 heating degree days against 755 cooling degree days, 11.9 days a year reaching 90 or more, 144.2 nights at freezing or below, 35.91 inches of precipitation. Those figures cross the county without respecting its borders, and they load every home in it the same way at the same hours — which is why electrical failures here, as across the metro, arrive in seasonal bunches rather than at random. Position matters at the margins: the 2nd closest of the metro's 3 covered counties to its centre, Benton County takes the metro's storm seasons from the west side of the footprint.
