The era ledger, applied locally: across the Grand Rapids metro, 51.3% of homes predate 1980 and the median build year is 1979. Counties are where that ledger becomes addresses. In Kent County, the older bands cluster where the county first grew; the newer bands where it is growing now. Each band wires its homes differently and ages them differently, and the services this page links to are ordered by the patterns the combined record produces.
