JPAS — the Faraday Scale

The Wall

Forty counties, nine tiers, one weighted mean. Nationally the forty are the top 40 under the Faraday Scale, and the presets re-order those same forty. Filter to a state and the Wall becomes that state's top 40 under whichever weighting is active.

Score is the weighted mean of the nine. Tile shade follows the score, relative to the tiles shown; the top border marks the tier where a place most over-indexes against the field, weighted by what you told us matters. Dashed tiles carry thin evidence (completeness Low, or an imputed tier among the top contributors); they are hidden until you include them. Regulatory is evidenced by air-quality designation and permitting activity; a county absent from EPA's nonattainment list reads as attainment.
