What Belton's numbers say about electrical

Belton is one of the fastest-growing Kansas City–metro suburbs tracked here: 26,193 people (2025 estimate), up 9.2% since 2020^[2]. The city spans 14.4 square miles at 1,817 residents per square mile (the 5th densest) and sits entirely in Cass County, served by ZIP code 64012^[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.

The entire city sits in ZIP code 64012^[5].

The tracked suburbs closest by are Raymore (4.0 mi E), Grandview (4.3 mi N) and Lee's Summit (10.5 mi NE)^[3].

26% of Belton's housing was built in 1960–1979^[1] — the 7th-lowest share of the 14 Kansas City–area suburbs we cover; nearby, Raymore (12%), Grandview (49%), and Lee's Summit (18%). That window includes roughly 1965–1973, when some homes got aluminum branch wiring^[6].

28% of Belton homes heat with electricity and 69% with gas^[1] — the 4th-highest share of the 14 Kansas City–area suburbs we cover (Raymore (26%), Grandview (36%), and Lee's Summit (25%) nearby). Gas-heated homes often have more panel headroom, but only a load calculation tells.

Within 10 miles of central Belton: 68 damaging-wind reports and 0 lightning-damage reports in 2016–2025, the latest on Sep 18, 2025^[4].

Ice is the other outage risk: 17 winter-storm, ice or hard-freeze days in 2016–2025^[4] — worth knowing when sizing a generator or asking about whole-home surge protection.

4% of Belton's housing is from 2020 or later^[1] — new enough that builder warranties still apply to many electrical defects.

Measured against the 14 suburbs on this site, Belton records the fewest lightning-damage reports nearby (0, tied with 8 other suburbs)^[4] and the 2nd-lowest share of detached houses (62%)^[1].
