Our data
A Personal Move Guide starts with the places and topics you select. We confirm the place, inspect sources that fit the question, and keep the evidence behind consequential claims and calculations.

Source selection
We can take a request for a confirmed place anywhere in the United States. Before checkout, we review whether the relevant research and delivery scope can be supported for that specific request.
We use the Census Bureau’s 2024 Gazetteer to confirm U.S. places and its 2024 five-year American Community Survey for historical housing context. Each figure keeps its geography, survey period, definition, and uncertainty. A historical gross-rent median is not a current asking rent or a quote for a particular home.
For questions about parks, facilities, and everyday services, we check reliable local information for each destination. We describe selected verified examples, not a complete inventory or a promise that hours and offerings will stay the same.
When included in your confirmed scope, climate research uses NOAA weather averages identified by station and period. Commute research uses a checked work destination. A drive from a named starting point may differ from a trip from a particular home. Where we show road context, the roads come from Census TIGER geography, not the travel-time provider.
How we work
We confirm the source, place, date, and definition before using a finding.
Code handles arithmetic so the reported numbers can be checked against their inputs.
An editor reviews the research and exact final PDF before private delivery.
Important limits remain beside the relevant finding. We do not rank places, select a winner, recommend a property, or use protected characteristics to steer a move. If a source cannot support a consequential answer, we say so or leave that answer out.

The sample uses a fictional customer situation and real research, so you can inspect how facts, assumptions, and open questions appear in a guide.
