Darker bands = more cultivars thrive at that zone; the line marks this address (zone 8b). Open a category, then a plant, for its cultivars.
A community-maintained world map with detailed points of interest, roads, bike lanes, parks, trails, and local businesses — the Wikipedia of maps.
A detailed federal map of every river, stream, lake, pond, and canal in the country, used to measure how close a neighborhood is to freshwater.
OpenStreetMap's community-mapped coastline (natural=coastline), used to calculate how far any neighborhood is from the ocean via point-precise distance.
A satellite-based map classifying every 30-meter patch of the US into land-cover types — forest, wetland, developed land, farmland, and open water — updated every few years.
High-resolution elevation data from a national lidar program, used to calculate a neighborhood's average altitude, hilliness, and terrain ruggedness.
A federal inventory of every wetland in the US — marshes, swamps, bogs, and coastal estuaries — mapped by the Fish and Wildlife Service.
A scientific map dividing North America into ecological zones that share similar landscapes, climates, and plant communities — used here to provide regional ecological context.
A government map dividing the country into zones based on average winter cold, telling you which plants can survive outdoors year-round in a given neighborhood.
Satellite measurements of artificial light at night, used to indicate how dark the sky is and assign each neighborhood a Bortle dark-sky rating.
Modeled estimates of how much human-made noise intrudes on the natural soundscape in each neighborhood, produced by the National Park Service.
Habitat models from USGS's Gap Analysis Project predicting which vertebrate species — mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians — likely live in or near a neighborhood.
A global database of over two billion biodiversity observation records contributed by scientists and citizen naturalists, showing which species have been spotted in and around a neighborhood.
The national inventory of permanently protected public lands — national parks, forests, wildlife refuges, and state parks — showing how much protected land is near a neighborhood.
The official 30-year (1991–2020) climate averages for temperature, precipitation, and sunshine at weather stations across the US, interpolated to every neighborhood.
Ground-station readings of soot and ozone that show how clean or smoggy the air typically is near a place.
A federal inventory of how many pounds of toxic chemicals industrial facilities release into the air, water, and land each year, reported by the facilities themselves.
The EPA's national screening tool that ranks neighborhoods by their exposure to air pollution, toxic releases, and proximity to hazardous sites, relative to the rest of the country.
A satellite-based measurement of how much of a neighborhood's ground is covered by tree canopy — a signal of shade, urban cooling, and green character.
