About the data
How the figures are calculated
- Air
- Fine particles (PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide and summer ozone, as modeled yearly averages by neighborhood. Source: NYC Community Air Survey, via NYC Health.
- Pollen trees
- Street trees of nine pollen-producing genera near the address, and their peak dates, from the 2015 Street Tree Census and Ito et al. (2015).
- Heat risk
- The Heat Vulnerability Index for the ZIP code, 1 to 5, from NYC Health.
- Summer heat
- Surface temperature on clear mornings in 2026 from Landsat 8–9, against the city median.
- Rats
- Inspections within 820 ft (250 m) in 12 months that found rats, against those that failed for other reasons or passed. Source: Rodent Inspection.
- Street trees
- Street trees within 820 ft (250 m) by species, and the biggest trunk. A 2015 snapshot.
How to read it
- Air figures are modeled yearly averages, not a reading from the corner. Real-time air is shown separately.
- The Heat Vulnerability Index is a relative measure for an area. It is not the current temperature or a personal health assessment.
- Inspections follow 311 complaints, so more inspections do not mean more rats. The tree census is from 2015.
