The housing stock behind Polk County's wiring
Consider what the median build year of 1980 hides: a county of 741 square miles holds farmhouses, founding-era streets, tract suburbs and new estates side by side, each wired to the standard of its decade. Polk County's pages in that spread are its own, which is why its electrical patterns are ranked for the metro but read at county scale. Its neighbours - Yamhill County, Marion County and Washington County - hold the same bands in different proportions, which is why their pages read differently from this one.

The county's 741 square miles take that record whole; there is no milder version of it inside the county line.
