The housing stock behind Goochland County's wiring
Within Goochland County itself, the era question has a geography: the oldest stock stands where the county first settled and along its earliest road corridors, the newest at the subdivisions still being wired today. The metro's bands - 44.6% pre-1980 against 25.8% since 2000 - are the backdrop; the county's own streets decide which band a given home falls in. For Goochland County specifically, the practical translation is simple: your street's build decade predicts your panel's generation better than any metro average can.
The climate Goochland County wiring works under
Position modifies the record: Goochland County sits 35 miles north-west of the Richmond 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 17th closest of the metro's 17 covered counties to its centre, Goochland County takes the metro's storm seasons from the north-west side of the footprint.
