The housing stock behind Arlington 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 1983, 21.5% of the stock from before 1960, 46.0% from before 1980. Inside Arlington 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. The county's own share of those bands is what its 26 square miles contain, from founding-era streets to the growth edge.
The climate Arlington County wiring works under
Position modifies the record: Arlington County sits 21 miles east of the Washington centre, and exposure follows position - the county's open edges take the storm seasons differently from the metro's built-up core, and its low ground and high ground split the freeze and flood patterns between them. The station numbers are the baseline; the county's terrain deals them out. Position matters at the margins: the 9th closest of the metro's 23 covered counties to its centre, Arlington County takes the metro's storm seasons from the east side of the footprint.
