The housing stock behind Durham 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 1992, 13.4% of the stock from before 1960, 32.3% from before 1980. Inside Durham 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 288 square miles contain, from founding-era streets to the growth edge.
The climate Durham County wiring works under
Climate loads a county's wiring in three ways, and DURHAM 11 W, NC US's record sizes all three for Durham County: duration (3,496 heating and 1,380 cooling degree days of equipment run-time), extremes (33.7 hot days, 71.2 freezing nights), and events (46.7 inches of precipitation arriving in storm seasons). Panels, circuits and service equipment across the county's 288 square miles are all working inside those three numbers. The county's 288 square miles take that record whole; there is no milder version of it inside the county line.

It is the 2nd closest of the metro's 4 covered counties to its centre.

Coverage here does not end at the county line: Orange County, Wake County and Person County are the nearest covered counties, and the Durham city page ties the whole footprint together. Durham County's own page stays deliberately narrow - one county, its land, its stock, its patterns.
