FAQ

What data does Mubboo have for California?

Mubboo aggregates federal data for California across 7 domains: housing (HUD Fair Market Rents, Zillow), health (CDC PLACES), education (NCES, College Scorecard), safety (FBI Crime Data, FEMA), economy (IRS income data), taxes (Tax Foundation, state tax tables), and environment (EPA AQI, NOAA climate). Each vertical links to a detailed state page with ZIP-level rankings.

How often is the data updated?

Each data source refreshes on its own cadence — HUD annually (October), Tax Foundation annually, CDC PLACES annually, FBI crime data annually (with a 1-2 year lag), EPA air quality annually, and NOAA climate normals every decade. Pages cache for 24 hours via ISR so data is always current as of the last source update.

How does California compare to other states?

Each vertical's state page includes a "How California compares" callout that shows California's primary metric against the national average. For state-by-state ranking tables, visit the individual vertical Hub pages — for example, /info/housing for a full 50-state housing comparison.

Yes — enter any 5-digit ZIP code in the search box above to see a cross-domain snapshot for that ZIP: rent, home values, health indicators, school counts, income, crime, and environmental data all on one page.
