What zipradar shows

Pages show the current AQI category (Good, Moderate, Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups, Unhealthy, Very Unhealthy, Hazardous), the nearest reporting station, and historical averages.

Refresh cadence

Hourly real-time / daily historical. zipradar honors the regulator's publishing cadence; stale data is flagged rather than silently served.

Limitations

Rural ZIPs may not have a nearby monitoring station; zipradar then reports the closest available station with distance context.
