100–229 kV

How Power Lines Affect Florissant Residents

Florissant has 22 transmission lines and 22 substations within 5 miles of the city center. This includes 1 line carrying 345 kV or more — the highest voltage class, which produces stronger ELF fields over a wider area. For homes near these corridors, distance is critical: ELF drops off sharply, but high-voltage lines have a larger impact zone than lower-voltage infrastructure.

Substations Near Florissant

With 22 substations in the area, Florissant has significant power distribution infrastructure. These are the points where high-voltage power is stepped down for local use. Each one creates a localized ELF field — if you live within a few hundred meters of one, it likely contributes to your score. The map shows exactly where they are.

16

Florissant's ELF exposure is rated Low

Most residents are far enough from high-voltage infrastructure that ELF isn't a major concern. Homes directly adjacent to power lines may still want to check their specific score.

RF vs ELF in Florissant: Cell towers have a somewhat bigger impact than power lines in Florissant (RF: 32, ELF: 16), though both contribute meaningfully. Checking your address shows which sources are most relevant to your specific location.

What This Means for You

Florissant has some high-voltage (345+ kV) infrastructure nearby, which creates stronger ELF fields over a wider area than lower-voltage lines. If you're close to one of these corridors, it can meaningfully impact your score — the map shows exactly where they run.
