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.
Hawaii context
Tsunami, lava-zone, water-source isolation
Hawaii's federated data is unusual: FEMA tsunami evacuation zones are state-managed alongside NFHL flood maps; Big Island lava-flow zones (USGS) overlay FEMA hazard layers. Each island operates independent water utilities, so EPA SDWIS PWSIDs do not aggregate across the state.
See Hawaii state page for the full state-level rollup across all 12 dimensions.
