The housing stock behind Richmond city's wiring
The housing record for the Richmond metro — the footprint Richmond city belongs to — reads: 561,343 housing units, a median build year of 1984, 44.6% of homes from before 1980 and 25.8% built since 2000. A county's share of that stock is never the average share: counties holding the metro's historic core carry its oldest panels and wiring generations, while counties at the growth edge carry its newest. Where Richmond city sits in that spread is written on its streets — in the build decades of its neighbourhoods — and it is the first thing a local electrician reads on arrival. For Richmond city specifically, the practical translation is simple: your street's build decade predicts your panel's generation better than any metro average can.

From Richmond city's position - 9 miles north-west of the centre - those seasons arrive with the county's own exposure, not the core city's.
