The housing stock behind Hidalgo County's wiring
Read the county through the metro's Census profile: 264,128 households across the footprint, 67.6% of homes owner-occupied, and era bands of 12,993 homes before 1960, 41,096 from 1960-1979, 104,854 from 1980-1999 and 143,230 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. Hidalgo County's own mix follows its building history, street by street. Its neighbours - Cameron County, Nueces County and Webb County - hold the same bands in different proportions, which is why their pages read differently from this one.
