The housing stock behind Kent 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 1962, 48.3% of the stock from before 1960, 70.5% from before 1980. Inside Kent 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. Inside Kent County, that ledger is local: drive from its oldest streets to its newest subdivisions - 9 miles west of the metro centre - and the panels age and modernise with the scenery.
The climate Kent County wiring works under
For Kent County, the climate figures have a local accent: heating degree days of 5,478 against cooling degree days of 812 describe a county whose systems work both ends of the year, and whose failure seasons - deep cold, peak heat, storm weeks - are predictable from the record even when individual calls are not. From Kent County's position - 9 miles west of the centre - those seasons arrive with the county's own exposure, not the core city's.
