The housing stock behind Preston County's wiring

A county's share of that stock is never the average share: counties holding the metro's historic core carry its oldest panels and wiring generations, while counties at the growth edge carry its newest. Where Preston County sits in that spread is written on its streets — in the build decades of its neighbourhoods — and it is the first thing a local electrician reads on arrival. The county's own share of those bands is what its 649 square miles contain, from founding-era streets to the growth edge.
