Reading the Moore data for electrical

Moore is one of the most established suburbs tracked here — 63,609 people (2025 estimate), up just 1.3% since 2020^[2]. It covers 22.1 square miles (2,879 residents per square mile, the 2nd densest), sits entirely in Cleveland County, in ZIP code 73160^[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 73160^[5].

Nearest of the other suburbs we track: Del City (8.5 mi N), Newcastle (9.0 mi SW) and Norman (9.5 mi SE)^[3].

36% of Moore's housing was built in 1960–1979^[1] — the 5th-highest share of the 14 Oklahoma City–area suburbs we cover; nearby, Del City (46%), Newcastle (16%), and Norman (26%). That window includes roughly 1965–1973, when some homes got aluminum branch wiring^[6].

30% of Moore homes heat with electricity and 68% with gas^[1] — the 2nd-lowest share of the 14 Oklahoma City–area suburbs we cover (Del City (32%), Newcastle (34%), and Norman (44%) nearby). Gas-heated homes often have more panel headroom, but only a load calculation tells.

Within 10 miles of central Moore: 212 damaging-wind reports and 4 lightning-damage reports in 2016–2025, the latest on Aug 11, 2025^[4].

Ice is the other outage risk: 21 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 Moore's housing is from 2020 or later^[1] — new enough that builder warranties still apply to many electrical defects.

Out of the 14 suburbs on this site, Moore has the most lightning-damage reports nearby (4, tied with Newcastle)^[4].
