The housing stock behind Kanawha County's wiring
The era ledger, applied locally: across the Charleston metro, 68.1% of homes predate 1980 and the median build year is 1968. Counties are where that ledger becomes addresses. In Kanawha County, the older bands cluster where the county first grew; the newer bands where it is growing now. Each band wires its homes differently and ages them differently, and the services this page links to are ordered by the patterns the combined record produces. Its neighbours - Boone County, Putnam County and Clay County - hold the same bands in different proportions, which is why their pages read differently from this one.
The climate Kanawha County wiring works under

Panels, circuits and service equipment across the county's 902 square miles are all working inside those three numbers. The county's 902 square miles take that record whole; there is no milder version of it inside the county line.
