Real local data on every city page

Septic systems live in the ground, so local soil and weather matter. Each city page shows how the USDA soil survey rates nearby soils for drain fields, plus rainfall and freeze data from NASA's long-term climate records.

Soil ratings describe mapped soil types near the city center and never replace a site evaluation of your property.
