Method: percentile rank (count below + 0.5 × count equal) ÷ N × 100, lower-better measures inverted; composite is the mean of available component scores, rounded to 1 decimal; a county needs at least 5 of 7 components or it is unranked, never estimated. Vintages: ACS 2024 5-year (2020–2024) for housing affordability, income, and commute; FBI Crime Data Explorer 2024 for violent crime; County Health Rankings 2025 release for graduation and uninsured. Unemployment (BLS LAUS 2024) is missing for every California county because the BLS public API was unreachable (HTTP 503) on 2026-10-25; composites rest on the other components and will be recomputed if BLS data becomes available.

Neighbor comparison
How Napa County’s General Fund spending per resident and fund-balance share compare with adjacent counties, computed from each dashboard’s own published figures.
| Government | Per-capita GF spending | Fund balance % |
|---|---|---|
| Napa County (this dashboard) | $2,508.97 | — |
| Lake County | $1,545.25 | — |
| Sonoma County | $1,564.61 | — |
| Yolo County | $529.24 | 95.11% |
| Solano County (no dashboard yet) | — | — |
GF figure: General Fund appropriations, FY 2026-27 adopted.
Fund-balance % dashed: fund balance (estimated) $26,810,648 is beginning/available, not ending
Lake County: Fund-balance % dashed: no GF ending balance published ($13,669,130 is governmental provisions for obligated balances, not GF ending)
Sonoma County: Fund-balance % dashed: no GF ending balance published (Fund Balance/Net Assets $374,255,241 is countywide, not GF)
Solano County: No Solano County dashboard in this dataset (no county GF figure exists here); a city dashboard in the county, if any, does not supply a county figure.
Per-capita GF spending = the dashboard’s published General Fund total ÷ county population (ACS 2024 5-year, table B01003). Fund balance % = published GF ending balance ÷ GF total for the same fiscal year unless noted.
— in the fund-balance column means no GF ending balance is published on that dashboard (adopted budgets typically state only a January 1 balance).
Neighbor rows are county figures for the counties adjacent to the home county (U.S. Census Bureau County Adjacency File, 2024; out-of-state neighbors excluded).
