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 60% Wind turbines are documented within a distance that registers moderate ClearSpot pressure (60%). Individuals with sensitivity to infrasound may wish to check the live map for exact distances.
Pollen 0% No significant pollen pressure detected within default ClearSpot thresholds for the current reference period.
Air quality 0% No air quality pressure detected within default ClearSpot thresholds for this location.
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

The score sits in the middle band: several environmental signals are present. Use the map, the module guides, and your tuned thresholds to see which layers matter for you.

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.
