Medians are ZIP-level medians, not averages. An em dash means the Census Bureau publishes no estimate; it never means zero.

What a city is here. The place name the Postal Service gives a ZIP code, so Smyrna is every ZIP area whose mailing city is Smyrna — the city everyone means, not the incorporated limits. The score is the population-weighted average of those ZIP areas’ planting scores (86% growth, 14% viability; how near a Church of God church is carries no weight); a plant goes in a ZIP area, and the ranking to plant on is the ZIP area’s own. Church of God counts are the churches filed in those ZIP areas; the rings on each ZIP area still count every church within reach, across city and county lines.
