Data behind the rating

4 sources
Data
NOAA NCEI 1991-2020 station normals matched to places using nearby stations, with distance and elevation mismatch penalties.
What it tells us
Provides typical annual heat, cold, precipitation, and snowfall conditions from nearby weather stations, not a block-level microclimate or future climate projection.
Data
NOAA NCEI 1991-2020 hourly station normals used to derive typical relative humidity, dew point, heat-index, and wind exposure at each place.
What it tells us
Provides typical hourly dampness, sticky-air, heat-index, and wind conditions from nearby stations, not indoor measurements, current weather, or a hyperlocal microclimate.

EPA AirData

2023-2025 annual summaries; files refreshed June 25, 2026
Data
EPA annual AQI by county and annual concentration by monitor files for PM2.5 and ozone, using observed exceptional-event conditions and EPA's corrected PM2.5 monitor-method guidance.
What it tells us
Provides a recent three-year county-level outdoor-air profile. Missing county metrics use state or national fallback evidence that is explicitly pulled toward neutral; this is not a neighborhood or indoor-exposure model.
Data
County-level FEMA overall risk, expected annual loss, and individual hazard risk scores.
What it tells us
Provides a broad county comparison of natural-hazard burden; it is not a parcel, building, insurance-premium, or event forecast.
