The Facility Condition Index (FCI) data you've shared offers insight into the physical condition of various facilities in Tempe over several years. The FCI is a standard measurement used to assess the condition of buildings and facilities, with lower values indicating better condition and higher values indicating a greater need for repairs or maintenance.

Key Observations:

  1. City-Wide Trends:
    The overall FCI for the City of Tempe shows gradual fluctuations, moving from 14.83 in 2018 to 15.22 in 2024. This indicates a slight increase in the overall condition score, implying a possible increase in maintenance needs.
    The 2030 target FCI for the City of Tempe is 10, which shows the goal of reducing maintenance and repair needs over time.
  2. Fire Stations:
    Fire Stations such as Station 2 exhibit higher FCIs, with a peak of 62.86 in 2022, suggesting a significant need for maintenance or repairs at this facility.
    Fire Station 6, on the other hand, has consistently low FCI values (around 1.9 in 2022), indicating it is in relatively good condition.
