The housing stock behind Orleans County's wiring
The housing record for the Rochester metro — the footprint Orleans County belongs to — reads: 478,537 housing units, a median build year of 1966, 67.8% of homes from before 1980 and 12.3% built since 2000. A county's share of that stock is never the average share: counties holding the metro's historic core carry its oldest panels and wiring generations, while counties at the growth edge carry its newest. Where Orleans County sits in that spread is written on its streets — in the build decades of its neighbourhoods — and it is the first thing a local electrician reads on arrival. The county's own share of those bands is what its 391 square miles contain, from founding-era streets to the growth edge.
The climate Orleans County wiring works under
From ROCHESTER GTR INTL AP, NY US's record, the working conditions over Orleans County: 6,273 heating degree days against 677 cooling degree days, 8.3 days a year reaching 90 or more, 128.8 nights at freezing or below, 35.09 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. The county's 391 square miles take that record whole; there is no milder version of it inside the county line.
