Source & refresh
EPA Air Quality System (AQS), annual county summary. zipradar does not host this data yet; read it at the source. Primary source →
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.
Alabama context
Tornado risk + rural water systems
Alabama sits in Dixie Alley with peak tornado activity in March-April. Coastal Mobile/Baldwin counties also carry FEMA-mapped storm-surge zones. Many rural water systems serve <500 connections, making EPA SDWIS compliance variability higher than in metro counties.
See Alabama state page for the full state-level rollup across all 12 dimensions.
