The housing stock behind St. Bernard Parish's wiring
Within St. Bernard Parish 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 - 64.7% pre-1980 against 15.3% since 2000 - are the backdrop; the county's own streets decide which band a given home falls in. Inside St. Bernard Parish, that ledger is local: drive from its oldest streets to its newest subdivisions - 48 miles east of the metro centre - and the panels age and modernise with the scenery.
