About This Data

Data Sources

Historical scores use stored EPA-derived city records. Current observations are requested separately and may use monitoring or modelled regional data. Inspect each report’s source and reporting period.

Methodology

Our Clean Air Score (0-100) is a proprietary algorithm that weighs multiple factors:

  • Annual PM2.5 averages (40%)
  • Frequency of unhealthy days (25%)
  • 5-year pollution trends (20%)
  • Seasonal variability and extreme events (15%)

Updates & Accuracy

Historical year labels describe the available observations, not the site edition year. Some locations inherit a nearby city’s historical score and are labelled as regional references. Current readings may be unavailable or delayed.
