How these geography tools work

Every calculation here uses a published formula: great-circle distance via the haversine formula on a spherical earth, population density as count divided by land area, wind chill from the National Weather Service formulation, and heat index from the NWS regression.

The earth-is-a-sphere assumption introduces up to about 0.5 percent distance error versus an ellipsoid model; for city-to-city planning that is negligible, and each page says so.

Choosing a tool

Distance and bearing questions use the haversine tools, demographic questions use population density, and weather-comfort questions use wind chill or heat index. ZIP-code tools resolve lookup questions (which county, which timezone) rather than computing anything.

Honest limits

Weather comfort indices are calibrated to shade conditions and specific height measurements; they are screening values, not forecasts. Population densities are only as current as the census or estimate year the input data uses.
