The housing stock behind Dinwiddie 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 1984, 21.5% of the stock from before 1960, 44.6% from before 1980. Inside Dinwiddie 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. Its neighbours - Petersburg city, Colonial Heights city and Chesterfield County - hold the same bands in different proportions, which is why their pages read differently from this one.
