That composite can draw on drinking water records, radon zones, PFAS monitoring and air quality data, so a strong grade summarizes several sources and is not a reading from anyone's tap. Scores also vary from one ZIP code to another, and the 12 ZIP reports listed for the county show where each one stands.
