The housing stock behind Buncombe County's wiring
Read the county through the metro's Census profile: 161,494 households across the footprint, 68.2% of homes owner-occupied, and era bands of 37,737 homes before 1960, 37,336 from 1960-1979, 62,427 from 1980-1999 and 63,029 since 2000. Those bands are the county's electrical inheritance in waiting: the pre-1980 bands bring panel-capacity and wiring-generation questions; the newer bands bring device wear and EV-readiness questions. Buncombe County's own mix follows its building history, street by street. Its neighbours - Henderson County, Madison County and Unicoi County - hold the same bands in different proportions, which is why their pages read differently from this one.
