The housing stock behind York County's wiring
Consider what the median build year of 1977 hides: a county of 991 square miles holds farmhouses, founding-era streets, tract suburbs and new estates side by side, each wired to the standard of its decade. York 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 991 square miles contain, from founding-era streets to the growth edge.
The climate York County wiring works under
The climate record is kept at PORTLAND INTL JETPORT, ME US, the NOAA station for this metro: 6,795 heating degree days and 447 cooling degree days in an average year, 48.12 inches of precipitation, 5.1 days at 90 degrees or more against 144.1 nights at or below freezing. York 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 Strafford County, Cumberland County and Rockingham County read the same record off the same station - the weather is the one thing counties here fully share.
