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 Placer 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 % |
|---|---|---|
| Placer County (this dashboard) | $1,088.70 | — |
| El Dorado County | $2,445.73 | — |
| Nevada County | — | — |
| Sutter County | $926.58 | — |
| Yuba County | — | — |
| Sacramento County (no dashboard yet) | — | — |
GF figure: General Fund expenditures & other financing uses, FY 2025-26 adopted.
Fund-balance % dashed: no GF ending balance published
El Dorado County: Fund-balance % dashed: no GF ending balance published (reserves/designations listed, no ending total)
Nevada County: GF total dashed: no GF breakdown published (in-brief gives all-funds totals only)
Nevada County: Fund-balance % dashed: no GF ending balance published
Sutter County: Fund-balance % dashed: June 30, 2025 balance $51,507,421 is prior-year, not FY 2025-26 ending
Yuba County: GF total dashed: no GF total extracted (staff report gives adopted totals/contributions/reserves but no GF total)
Yuba County: Fund-balance % dashed: no GF ending balance published (reserves are reserves, not ending)
Sacramento County: No Sacramento 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).
