The housing stock behind Whatcom County's wiring
Read the county through the metro's Census profile: 92,411 households across the footprint, 63.5% of homes owner-occupied, and era bands of 17,939 homes before 1960, 23,342 from 1960-1979, 29,151 from 1980-1999 and 31,496 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. Whatcom County's own mix follows its building history, street by street. Its neighbours - Snohomish County, Kitsap County and King County - hold the same bands in different proportions, which is why their pages read differently from this one.
The climate Whatcom County wiring works under
Neighbouring counties share this sky almost exactly - Snohomish County, Kitsap County and King County work under the same normals - yet the electrical outcomes differ by housing, which is the recurring lesson of this site's data: climate sets the load, building eras decide what the load breaks. The county's 2,108 square miles take that record whole; there is no milder version of it inside the county line.
