The numbers that frame Richland County: 757 square miles, about 20% of the metro's county land, centred roughly 10 miles east of Columbia. A mid-sized county for this metro. Local providers plan around exactly this kind of framing, because the distance from the core predicts which problems arrive first in spring, which linger latest in autumn, and how the county's housing — its age, its spacing, its tree cover — translates weather into pest calls.
