The housing stock behind Roanoke city's wiring
Within Roanoke city 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 - 58.5% pre-1980 against 16.6% since 2000 - are the backdrop; the county's own streets decide which band a given home falls in. Inside Roanoke city, that ledger is local: drive from its oldest streets to its newest subdivisions - 4 miles south-east of the metro centre - and the panels age and modernise with the scenery.
The climate Roanoke city wiring works under
The sky over Roanoke city is measured, not guessed: NOAA's normals at ROANOKE RGNL AP, VA US put the average year at 58.1 degrees with 42.82 inches of precipitation.

Local conditions vary by exposure and elevation inside the county; the record is the shared baseline every system in it was built under. From Roanoke city's position - 4 miles south-east of the centre - those seasons arrive with the county's own exposure, not the core city's.
