What's scoped, not missing
Stability is read here through four things at once: climate, births/mortality,
household income, and crime (violent + property offenses, FBI Crime Data
Explorer). All four are live as of 2026-08-07. The one real limit: crime is
currently scoped to counties inside this site's metro-county footprint, not
every US county — a full national pull is many hours of API calls at this
source's real, observed rate, not run yet. If this county shows no crime panel
below, that's why — not a silent gap, a scope boundary named directly here.
Median Household Income, 2023
One year, one number, from the Census ACS 5-year estimates — not a trend line yet,
since only one vintage has been pulled in so far. Shown here as the fourth piece of
the stability picture, alongside climate and vital rates, rather than waiting for a
multi-year series to exist first.

Bachelor's Degree or Higher, 2023
Share of the population 25 and older holding a bachelor's degree, master's,
professional, or doctoral degree — the standard educational-attainment summary
stat, from the Census ACS. Not the same question as "what does a 15-year-old
here expect for their own future" — that needs intergenerational-mobility data
(e.g. Opportunity Insights), not yet on this site — but it's the honest, real
piece of that question this data can actually answer today.
37.9%
Climate, 2010–2024
Annual average temperature and total precipitation, from NCEI's monthly county
climate data. Fifteen years, not a real 30-year climate "normal" — the earlier span
(1980–2009) is still being pulled in, paced against NCEI's own daily request cap.
Read this as "the last decade and a half," not as a settled baseline.
Avg temperature (°C)
Birth, Death & Infant-Death Rates, 1970–2007
Per 10,000 population, from NHGIS. This series ends in 2007 and the climate series
above starts in 2010 — a real three-year gap between them, not overlapping
years. Worth reading side by side for the shape of a place over time, not as two
lines meant to line up point for point.

Violent & Property Crime
Annual offense counts, summed across every FBI-reporting agency inside this
county, from the FBI Crime Data Explorer (NIBRS/UCR). Raw counts, not rates —
a bigger county will show more offenses than a smaller one just from
population size; read this next to the population figures on this site's
Reports pages, not as a per-capita comparison on its own.
