Published tables use the same default thresholds for everyone so rankings stay comparable. On the home map, your tuned sensitivities still drive the live chip.

Environmental indicators

Module Score What this means
Wind turbines 0% Wind turbine data shows no documented installations within the default 1.5 km sensitivity radius for this location.
Pollen 0% No significant pollen pressure detected within default ClearSpot thresholds for the current reference period.
Air quality 70% High air quality pressure (70%). This city-centre average reflects persistent pollution signals; individual streets and park areas may score differently on the live map.
Noise 0% Noise mapping shows no significant pressure from motorways, railways, or airports within the default sensitivity radius.
Light pollution 0% Night-sky radiance registers no documented pressure - this area scores within the darker end of ClearSpot's light pollution range.

How to read this place

At default settings the indexed pressures are relatively high here. That is not a medical diagnosis; it is a prompt to inspect turbines, air, pollen, noise, and night-sky data in context and with your sensitivities.

Short-term vs long-term

In the short term, spikes come from weather, pollen season, construction, or night lighting—use the live map when deciding whether to open a window or plan outdoor time.

Over months and years, patterns matter for where you settle: turbine proximity, chronic noise corridors, recurring pollen sources, and persistent air basins. The blog and data guides explain how each layer is built.
