Every value is drawn from an authoritative public source. The Overall score normalizes the one fire metric that is genuinely comparable across all counties — the civilian fire-death rate (Georgia State Fire Marshal counts, per Census population). Where counties publish incident/response figures, we show them as sourced context; where no public source exists, we say so. Data Confidence reflects how much verifiable public evidence backs each county.
