The housing stock behind Guthrie County's wiring
Within Guthrie County itself, the era question has a geography: the oldest stock stands where the county first settled and along its earliest road corridors, the newest at the subdivisions still being wired today. The metro's bands - 47.0% pre-1980 against 33.0% since 2000 - are the backdrop; the county's own streets decide which band a given home falls in. Inside Guthrie County, that ledger is local: drive from its oldest streets to its newest subdivisions - 38 miles west of the metro centre - and the panels age and modernise with the scenery.
The climate Guthrie County wiring works under
The same sky, read at county scale: Guthrie County's 591 square miles take the DES MOINES INTL AP, IA US record - 22.0 hot days, 127.9 freezing nights, 36.55 inches of precipitation - and convert it into load on real systems, from the oldest farmhouse service to the newest subdivision panel. Extremes cluster here the way they do across the metro, because the weather that makes them crosses the whole footprint at once. From Guthrie County's position - 38 miles west of the centre - those seasons arrive with the county's own exposure, not the core city's.
