There is a 1 year lag between the source data and the TCA Assessment year. For instance in 2024, mean annual productivity data used were 1984-2018 (historical record) and 2019-2023 (recent conditions). Note that in 2022, data only covers the western US, in all other years it covers CONUS.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P><SPAN STYLE="font-weight:bold;"><SPAN>Format:</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN> Raster data are binary: (1) negative or (0) not negative.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P><SPAN STYLE="font-weight:bold;"><SPAN>Resolution:</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN> 250m</SPAN></SPAN></P><P><SPAN STYLE="font-weight:bold;"><SPAN>Source: </SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>Annual RPMS Products from </SPAN></SPAN><A href="https://fuelcast.net/downloads" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN>FuelCast</SPAN></SPAN></A><SPAN><SPAN>.
