Capabilities

Tools 6

compare_counties

Compare 2 to 10 counties side by side on chosen measures.

Discovered
find_measure

Map plain words (for example "internet", "cancer", "crime", "cost of living") to atlas measure keys. Words the atlas has no data for come back in not_available. Those words are counted (word and day only, no personal data) so the owner can consider new data.

Discovered
get_county

All atlas values for one county, by 5-digit FIPS or "Name, State" (state name or postal code). Missing values stay null with their status.

Discovered
list_measures

List the county measures in the Should I Live Here? atlas: key, label, unit, period, direction, and how many of the 3,107 counties have a value. Optional text filter.

Discovered
rank_counties

Rank counties in the lower 48 states on weighted measures, with the same scoring as the site's My priorities. Rank 1 has the lowest concern score. Counties with missing data are left out, never scored as low. Optional limits and state filter. Read the cautions in every answer.

Discovered
request_measure

Report a measure a user wanted that the atlas lacks, for example "schools". Only the measure name and the day are counted.
