The housing stock behind Lancaster County's wiring
Within Lancaster 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 - 53.0% pre-1980 against 20.1% since 2000 - are the backdrop; the county's own streets decide which band a given home falls in. Its neighbours - Lebanon County, York County and Chester County - hold the same bands in different proportions, which is why their pages read differently from this one.
The climate Lancaster County wiring works under
The sky over Lancaster County is measured, not guessed: NOAA's normals at LANCASTER AP, PA US put the average year at 53.3 degrees with 42.06 inches of precipitation. For the county's electrical systems that translates into two load seasons and a storm exposure, all of which show up in the problem ranking on the Lancaster city page. Local conditions vary by exposure and elevation inside the county; the record is the shared baseline every system in it was built under. The county's 944 square miles take that record whole; there is no milder version of it inside the county line.
