The housing stock behind Schenectady County's wiring
The stock figures also explain the service mix a county generates. Where Schenectady County's share of the metro's 265,904 pre-1980 homes is dense, panel and wiring-generation work leads; where its share of the 70,992 post-2000 homes dominates, the calls are about capacity for new loads instead. Both shares exist here - their proportions are the county's signature. The county's own share of those bands is what its 205 square miles contain, from founding-era streets to the growth edge.
The climate Schenectady County wiring works under
For Schenectady County, the climate figures have a local accent: heating degree days of 6,357 against cooling degree days of 721 describe a county whose systems work both ends of the year, and whose failure seasons - deep cold, peak heat, storm weeks - are predictable from the record even when individual calls are not. The county's 205 square miles take that record whole; there is no milder version of it inside the county line.
