What Carrollton's numbers say about electrical

Carrollton is one of the most established suburbs tracked here — 134,562 people (2025 estimate), up just 0.8% since 2020[2]. The city spans 36.6 square miles at 3,675 residents per square mile (the 6th densest) and spans Denton County and Dallas County and Collin County, served by ZIP codes 75006, 75007, 75010[3].

New construction arrives with 200-amp panels and room to grow; the older homes nearby are the ones where panels fill up, double-taps appear, and an EV charger triggers a load calculation.

3 ZIP codes cover Carrollton — 75006 (46% of the city's land), 75007 (32% of the city's land), 75010 (18% of the city's land)[5].

Nearest of the other suburbs we track: Lewisville (6.1 mi NW), Plano (9.8 mi NE) and Irving (10.0 mi SW)[3].

23% of Carrollton's housing was built in 1960–1979[1] — the 5th-highest share of the 15 Dallas–Fort Worth–area suburbs we cover; nearby, Lewisville (12%), Plano (17%), and Irving (25%). That window includes roughly 1965–1973, when some homes got aluminum branch wiring[6].

57% of Carrollton homes heat with electricity and 42% with gas[1] — the 7th-highest share of the 15 Dallas–Fort Worth–area suburbs we cover (Lewisville (65%), Plano (51%), and Irving (65%) nearby). All-electric panels carry the heaviest loads, so EV chargers here usually start with a load calculation.

Within 10 miles of central Carrollton: 80 damaging-wind reports and 13 lightning-damage reports in 2016–2025, the latest on Aug 4, 2025[4].

Ice is the other outage risk: 14 winter-storm, ice or hard-freeze days in 2016–2025[4] — worth knowing when sizing a generator or asking about whole-home surge protection.

2% of Carrollton's housing is from 2020 or later[1] — new enough that builder warranties still apply to many electrical defects.
