Explore the intelligence

National evidence. Local context.

The site keeps EPA evidence, NDS analytical rankings and historical change separate so readers can understand both the source data and the derived context.

ZIP Profiles

Median AQI, maximum AQI, good-air-quality days, PM2.5 averages and county-derived rankings.

County Rankings

Compare counties using the governed NDS relative air-quality score without fake within-county ZIP ranks.

Change Over Time

Review annual AQI history from 2016 through 2025 using the certified Relationship over-time layer.

Current relative air-quality ranking

Higher score means better relative air quality within the governed NDS county comparison universe. This is not an EPA regulatory ranking.

Methodology matters

County-derived evidence, ZIP-connected presentation.

Annual EPA AQI evidence is county-derived. The NDS Relationship backbone supplies the authoritative county-to-ZIP connection.

A ZIP profile is a local presentation of authoritative county-level EPA evidence — not a claim that EPA directly publishes an AQI ranking for that ZIP.
