About This Ranking

Goal

Highlight places with lower annual average outdoor relative humidity on a stable physical scale distinct from precipitation and warm-weather mugginess.

Sources

Data behind the rating

3 sources
Data
NOAA NCEI 1991-2020 hourly-normal temperature and dew point pairs used to derive annual average outdoor relative humidity at nearby stations.
What it tells us
Provides a stable outdoor relative-humidity normal matched to the named community; it is not indoor humidity, current weather, or a direct measure of moisture content or mugginess.

USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS)

Current dedicated Target Elevation fact run
Data
Official Populated Place coordinates and Census place codes used to select a community-core point instead of a potentially unrepresentative boundary centroid.
What it tells us
Identifies the named settlement point sampled for elevation; unmatched places and a documented reviewed geography exception retain their Census internal point explicitly.

USGS 3D Elevation Program (3DEP)

Current dedicated Target Elevation fact run
Data
Bilinear terrain-elevation sample at the representative community coordinate selected for each place, with a small nearby-sample fallback for exact no-data cells.
What it tells us
Provides the representative place elevation used to measure distance from the selected target; it does not describe the full elevation range within the place.
