A note on the data

Each chart is built from public data we name on its page: the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Housing Survey, FEMA’s flood-insurance records, and NOAA / National Weather Service climate data, alongside published EPA and CDC guidance. We do the chart-making; the underlying numbers are public. The figures, methods, and full citations live on each chart’s linked page, not here, so you can check the original source before you publish.
