Standards
Editorial Policy
How we choose sources, check facts, and keep guides useful and honest.
Sources
We prefer primary sources: official agency, university, and organization websites, public records, and direct confirmation from businesses. Each guide lists the resources we relied on.
Fact-checking
Claims about infrastructure, schools, market statistics, and legal or financial topics require human review before publication. AI tools may assist with outlines or summaries, but we do not publish unverified AI-generated local claims.
Business profiles
Businesses are listed only after verification of name, address, and official website. Paid placements and hosted experiences are clearly labeled. We do not publish fabricated reviews or ratings.
Images
Images marked "illustrative" are not photographs of specific local places. We use licensed or owner-provided photography for real destinations.
Fair housing
Housing content focuses on property features and practical needs. We avoid language that suggests who belongs in a neighborhood.
