Limitations specific to this source
This is a county-level ANNUAL SUMMARY, not a live current reading and not an address-level measurement — for today's AQI, EPA's real-time AirNow feed is the correct source (not yet federated here). Not every county operates an EPA monitor; absence of data for a ZIP's county means no 2025 EPA reading exists, not that air is good.
