The housing stock behind Washington County's wiring
The era ledger, applied locally: across the Providence metro, 70.5% of homes predate 1980 and the median build year is 1962. Counties are where that ledger becomes addresses. In Washington County, the older bands cluster where the county first grew; the newer bands where it is growing now. Each band wires its homes differently and ages them differently, and the services this page links to are ordered by the patterns the combined record produces. Its neighbours - Newport County, Kent County and Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region - hold the same bands in different proportions, which is why their pages read differently from this one.
The climate Washington County wiring works under

The station numbers are the baseline; the county's terrain deals them out. Neighbours Newport County, Kent County and Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region read the same record off the same station - the weather is the one thing counties here fully share.
