Equity overlay.
ACS transit-need tiers remain available, but score-based priority, state medians, and D/F shares are unavailable until current-contract checks create a comparable cohort. No state quality ranking is shown for this snapshot.

The ACS need tier for every state we track, with guarded score summaries only where a comparable feed cohort exists.

In plain words: this shows ACS transit-need tiers without making state quality comparisons until current-contract feed checks are available. It never changes any feed's grade.
Need tiers come from Census ACS (poverty, zero-vehicle households, disability share), joined to agencies by state. They prioritize data-quality help; they never change a grade. Score summaries use 0 canonical, non-duplicate feed scorecards under rubric 1.4, scoring profile gtfs-scorecard-1.4, MobilityData gtfs-validator 8.0.1, reader archive profile raw-v1, and measured categories one shared measured-category set. The same data is at the equity API (equity.json). State outlines: public-domain simplified geometry (docs/decisions/0022-equity-choropleth.md). State-level is a first cut; a tract-level refinement is in progress.
