Parcel boundaries and owners of record are from the Mobile County assessor's GIS. Flood zones are FEMA, slope is derived from USGS elevation, soils are the USDA soil survey, wetlands the National Wetlands Inventory, timber the Forest Service FIA, structures the FEMA USA Structures dataset, and roads, power lines, ponds and developed land OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL). Verdicts come from fixed rules applied to those fields, the same rules in every county, and the best-scoring parcels are also checked against a USDA aerial photo by an AI model.
