Allergy risk levels are based on pollen counts, mold spore measurements, and air quality data from monitoring stations. The index reflects the combined burden of tree, grass, and weed pollen along with indoor/outdoor mold activity.
Data is updated daily during high-pollen seasons and every 2–3 days during winter months.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Allergy?
Allergy risk reflects the burden of seasonal allergens — primarily airborne pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds, plus mold spores — in a given area. Higher risk levels mean people with allergies are more likely to experience symptoms like sneezing, congestion, and itchy eyes.
How is Allergy risk measured in Morrow County?
Allergy risk in Morrow County is reported as a weekly score on a four-point scale: Low, Moderate, High, and Very High. The score reflects the modeled burden of Allergy at the county level, validated against public health data from CDC, HHS, NOAA, and other authoritative sources. Methodology details are available at

How is this data collected and updated?
Hubbub World pulls data from multiple authoritative sources: the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for flu, COVID-19, and RSV surveillance; the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for hospital and community health indicators; the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for weather and air quality; and the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) for allergen reporting. Data is collected continuously from these sources and aggregated to the county and state level on a weekly cadence.
What methodology does Hubbub World use?
Hubbub World fits proprietary models on top of the underlying surveillance, environmental, and weather data to produce comparable risk scores across all U.S. counties. Each of the seven risks is reported on a four-point scale (Low, Moderate, High, Very High) so the scores are interpretable without needing the raw underlying numbers. The full methodology — including the modeling approach, validation against authoritative sources, and known limitations — is documented at
