The housing stock behind Putnam County's wiring
Within Putnam County itself, the era question has a geography: the oldest stock stands where the county first settled and along its earliest road corridors, the newest at the subdivisions still being wired today. The metro's bands - 57.3% pre-1980 against 17.0% since 2000 - are the backdrop; the county's own streets decide which band a given home falls in. The county's own share of those bands is what its 346 square miles contain, from founding-era streets to the growth edge.
The climate Putnam County wiring works under
The same sky, read at county scale: Putnam County's 346 square miles take the HUNTINGTON TRI STATE AP, WV US record - 25.0 hot days, 90.1 freezing nights, 45.1 inches of precipitation - and convert it into load on real systems, from the oldest farmhouse service to the newest subdivision panel. Extremes cluster here the way they do across the metro, because the weather that makes them crosses the whole footprint at once. From Putnam County's position - 37 miles east of the centre - those seasons arrive with the county's own exposure, not the core city's.
