What the city score is.The population-weighted average of the city’s scored ZIP areas’ planting scores — 86% growth, 14% viability; how near a Church of God church is carries no weight — so a 52,000-person ZIP area counts for more than a 3,000-person one. The strongest ZIP area is shown beside it because a plant goes in a ZIP area, not in a city. Cities are the Postal Service place names carried by ZIP codes; Athens, Cleveland and sixty other names exist in both states and are listed separately.
