- Shoreline development (landcover proxy, 2025 source): ≈69.5% developed land within 300 m, ≈25.5% impervious
- Road proximity (TIGER proxy, 2025 source): nearest secondary road (U.S., state, or county highway) ≈22 m; ≈8.5 km of road per km² within 1 km
- Priority Navigable Waterway — basis: lake under 50 acres
