ClearSpot score
100%
At the time of this computation, no significant environmental pressure was detected within default thresholds for Oberkirch.
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 | 51% | Moderate wind turbine proximity score (51%). At least one documented turbine installation falls within a distance range flagged at default sensitivity thresholds. |
| Pollen | 0% | No significant pollen pressure detected within default ClearSpot thresholds for the current reference period. |
| Air quality | 0% | Air quality data shows no documented exceedance of default sensitivity thresholds at this pin. |
| 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. |

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.
