The housing stock behind Douglas County's wiring
Housing age is destiny for wiring, and the record the Census keeps for this footprint is specific: a median home built in 1965, 45.6% of the stock from before 1960, 68.6% from before 1980. Inside Douglas County, that history concentrates the way it does everywhere — oldest near the founding settlements and the early corridors, youngest at the subdivisions still filling in. The electrical consequences are the metro's, felt at county scale: ageing panels where the stock is old, modern loads asking new questions where it is young. Its neighbours - Carlton County, Chisago County and St. Louis County - hold the same bands in different proportions, which is why their pages read differently from this one.
The climate Douglas County wiring works under
The same sky, read at county scale: Douglas County's 1,304 square miles take the DULUTH, MN US record - 1.6 hot days, 176.6 freezing nights, 31.18 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. Position matters at the margins: the 2nd closest of the metro's 3 covered counties to its centre, Douglas County takes the metro's storm seasons from the south-east side of the footprint.
