The housing stock behind Erie County's wiring
Housing age is destiny for wiring, and the record the Census keeps for this footprint is specific: a median home built in 1963, 46.8% of the stock from before 1960, 71.2% from before 1980. Inside Erie County, that history concentrates the way it does everywhere — oldest near the founding settlements and the early corridors, youngest at the subdivisions still filling in. The electrical consequences are the metro's, felt at county scale: ageing panels where the stock is old, modern loads asking new questions where it is young. The county's own share of those bands is what its 799 square miles contain, from founding-era streets to the growth edge.
The climate Erie County wiring works under
The same sky, read at county scale: Erie County's 799 square miles take the ERIE INTL AP, PA US record - 4.7 hot days, 111.4 freezing nights, 42.98 inches of precipitation - and convert it into load on real systems, from the oldest farmhouse service to the newest subdivision panel. Extremes cluster here the way they do across the metro, because the weather that makes them crosses the whole footprint at once. From Erie County's position - 0 miles south of the centre - those seasons arrive with the county's own exposure, not the core city's.
