The housing stock behind Salem city's wiring
What the numbers mean at the panel, for a county inside this metro: 86,597 of the footprint's homes predate 1980, built when panels were smaller and circuits fewer; 24,573 arrived since 2000 with modern service sizes. Salem city contains its own proportion of both — and a homeowner here can place their street in the ledger by its build decade alone, which is also how the electricians serving the county triage what they are likely to find. The county's own share of those bands is what its 15 square miles contain, from founding-era streets to the growth edge.

Panels, circuits and service equipment across the county's 15 square miles are all working inside those three numbers. Neighbours Roanoke city, Roanoke County and Craig County read the same record off the same station - the weather is the one thing counties here fully share.
