The housing stock behind Columbia County's wiring
The housing record for the Madison metro — the footprint Columbia County belongs to — reads: 309,095 housing units, a median build year of 1983, 46.8% of homes from before 1980 and 28.6% built since 2000. 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 Columbia 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 766 square miles contain, from founding-era streets to the growth edge.
