The housing stock behind Richmond County's wiring
Housing age is destiny for wiring, and the record the Census keeps for this footprint is specific: a median home built in 1959, 50.9% of the stock from before 1960, 73.8% from before 1980. Inside Richmond County, that history concentrates the way it does everywhere — oldest near the founding settlements and the early corridors, youngest at the subdivisions still filling in. The electrical consequences are the metro's, felt at county scale: ageing panels where the stock is old, modern loads asking new questions where it is young. The county's own share of those bands is what its 58 square miles contain, from founding-era streets to the growth edge.

The station numbers are the baseline; the county's terrain deals them out. The county's 58 square miles take that record whole; there is no milder version of it inside the county line.
