FAQ

What data does Mubboo have for West Virginia?

Mubboo aggregates federal data for West Virginia 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 West Virginia compare to other states?

Each vertical's state page includes a "How West Virginia compares" callout that shows West Virginia'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.
