The housing stock behind Beaufort County's wiring
Read the county through the metro's Census profile: 91,214 households across the footprint, 75.8% of homes owner-occupied, and era bands of 4,602 homes before 1960, 15,301 from 1960-1979, 41,531 from 1980-1999 and 53,496 since 2000. Those bands are the county's electrical inheritance in waiting: the pre-1980 bands bring panel-capacity and wiring-generation questions; the newer bands bring device wear and EV-readiness questions. Beaufort County's own mix follows its building history, street by street. Its neighbours - Jasper County, Chatham County and Effingham County - hold the same bands in different proportions, which is why their pages read differently from this one.
