The housing stock behind Roanoke County's wiring
Read the county through the metro's Census profile: 130,141 households across the footprint, 68.7% of homes owner-occupied, and era bands of 43,817 homes before 1960, 42,780 from 1960-1979, 36,859 from 1980-1999 and 24,573 since 2000. Those bands are the county's electrical inheritance in waiting: the pre-1980 bands bring panel-capacity and wiring-generation questions; the newer bands bring device wear and EV-readiness questions. Roanoke County's own mix follows its building history, street by street. Its neighbours - Salem city, Craig County and Roanoke city - hold the same bands in different proportions, which is why their pages read differently from this one.
The climate Roanoke County wiring works under
The climate record is kept at ROANOKE RGNL AP, VA US, the NOAA station for this metro: 3,868 heating degree days and 1,368 cooling degree days in an average year, 42.82 inches of precipitation, 30.4 days at 90 degrees or more against 76.6 nights at or below freezing. Roanoke County lives under that same sky. Its electrical meaning is practical: heating and cooling equipment sets the load peaks, storm seasons test the service connection, and the extremes — not the averages — are when marginal systems in the county announce themselves. The county's 251 square miles take that record whole; there is no milder version of it inside the county line.

The county in figures: 251 square miles - the 40th largest of the 75 covered counties in Virginia - centred near 37.33° N, 80.19° W, about 9 miles west of the Roanoke centre.

For context, Roanoke County's nearest covered neighbours are Salem city, Craig County and Roanoke city. A homeowner comparing pages will find the same metro figures underneath each - and different conclusions on top, because the counties weight the shared record differently. That difference is the entire reason this layer of the site exists.
