Local Environmental Conditions
Here, within the neighborhood's edge, a waterway supports hazel and willow along its bank, both strongly allergenic wind-pollinated species. A wooded area built around oak and birch, both contributing heavily to the region's spring pollen totals; this sits in the surrounding area. The broader area tends to mirror this pattern, with only minor local variation.
Hazel and willow by the water are typically first out of the gate, climbing steadily from late winter into March. Oak and birch nearby take over the pollen calendar through mid-spring, reaching maximum intensity across the April-May window. Through late spring, grass pollen climbs steadily toward its June peak, then yields to ragweed, the dominant late-summer and fall allergen through October.

This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
