Methodology

Climate rows use the nearest NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals station (1991–2020) where available. Hazard risk uses community-level National Risk Index category labels for the surrounding county.

BAH, rent, housing gap, commute, school districts, metro population, unemployment, and airport distance are reserved in the table and will populate as verified public datasets are connected. Values shown as — are not missing because of a page error.

Comparison FAQ

How shareable base comparisons work on this site.

Can I share this comparison?

Yes. This page has a permanent URL (/compare/edwards-afb-vs-mclb-barstow) you can share with spouses, counselors, bloggers, or real estate partners.

Why are some rows blank?

Housing, commute, school, metro, and labor-market metrics will appear as verified public datasets are added. Climate and hazard rows use NOAA normals and community-level risk references where available.

Is hazard risk installation-specific?

No. Hazard ratings describe surrounding community exposure for PCS planning context and are not installation-specific safety determinations.
