The housing stock behind Gaston County's wiring
The housing record for the Charlotte metro — the footprint Gaston County belongs to — reads: 1,139,944 housing units, a median build year of 1994, 30.0% of homes from before 1980 and 40.5% 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 Gaston 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 356 square miles contain, from founding-era streets to the growth edge.
The climate Gaston County wiring works under
Position modifies the record: Gaston County sits 22 miles west of the Charlotte centre, and exposure follows position - the county's open edges take the storm seasons differently from the metro's built-up core, and its low ground and high ground split the freeze and flood patterns between them. The station numbers are the baseline; the county's terrain deals them out. From Gaston County's position - 22 miles west of the centre - those seasons arrive with the county's own exposure, not the core city's.
