Data Sources

Public records behind every report.

VetMyAddress uses public environmental, geographic, and infrastructure records to create a plain-English screening report for a residential address.

U.S. Census Geocoder

Address matching

Matches a submitted address to geographic identifiers such as coordinates, county, state, ZIP, and census tract when available.

EPA AirNow

Air quality

Provides air quality readings from monitoring stations. Monitor readings are useful local signals, not measurements from inside a specific home.

EPA SDWIS

Drinking water compliance

Provides public water system and drinking-water compliance records. Matching depends on available service-area and public water system data.

FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer

Flood zone screening

Screens the geocoded point against FEMA flood hazard map data where available. It is not a lender flood determination.

FEMA National Risk Index

Natural hazard context

Provides tract-level natural hazard risk, expected annual loss, vulnerability, and resilience context.

EPA ECHO

Regulated facilities

Checks nearby EPA-regulated facilities and compliance records. Facility proximity is a screening signal, not confirmation of exposure.

EPA SEMS / Superfund

Cleanup sites

Checks active Superfund and cleanup-site records, including National Priorities List status where available.

Mapbox

Address autocomplete

Helps users enter complete U.S. addresses accurately before report generation.

Data freshness

Some sources update within hours, while others update periodically as agencies publish or revise records. Each report includes source notes so users can understand how current and specific a finding is.
