The housing stock behind Wake County's wiring
A county-level reading of the ledger: Wake County is the 3rd largest of the 43 covered counties in North Carolina, and across its 835 square miles the metro's era mix sorts itself by settlement history - pre-war cores, post-war rings, late-century subdivisions, current growth edges. An electrician driving the county drives through the decades in order. Inside Wake County, that ledger is local: drive from its oldest streets to its newest subdivisions - 12 miles west of the metro centre - and the panels age and modernise with the scenery.
The climate Wake County wiring works under
Position modifies the record: Wake County sits 12 miles west of the Raleigh 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. Neighbours Durham County, Johnston County and Franklin County read the same record off the same station - the weather is the one thing counties here fully share.
