The housing stock behind Petersburg city'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 Petersburg city, 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. Inside Petersburg city, that ledger is local: drive from its oldest streets to its newest subdivisions - 14 miles south of the metro centre - and the panels age and modernise with the scenery.
