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 Delaware 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. Its neighbours - Philadelphia County, Gloucester County and Chester County - hold the same bands in different proportions, which is why their pages read differently from this one.
