The housing stock behind Cumberland County's wiring
Within Cumberland County itself, the era question has a geography: the oldest stock stands where the county first settled and along its earliest road corridors, the newest at the subdivisions still being wired today. The metro's bands - 58.6% pre-1980 against 18.9% since 2000 - are the backdrop; the county's own streets decide which band a given home falls in. Its neighbours - Perry County, Franklin County and Dauphin County - hold the same bands in different proportions, which is why their pages read differently from this one.
The climate Cumberland County wiring works under
Climate loads a county's wiring in three ways, and HARRISBURG CPTL CY AP, PA US's record sizes all three for Cumberland County: duration (4,756 heating and 1,230 cooling degree days of equipment run-time), extremes (25.6 hot days, 101.5 freezing nights), and events (40.98 inches of precipitation arriving in storm seasons). Panels, circuits and service equipment across the county's 545 square miles are all working inside those three numbers. The county's 545 square miles take that record whole; there is no milder version of it inside the county line.
