Methodology
This public beta uses static sample data to demonstrate the product flow. Scores are neutral, category-based indicators and are not a substitute for official statistics, local knowledge, legal advice, financial advice, or a personal visit.
Beta disclaimer
Rankings are directional and depend on the selected weights. The sample dataset is intentionally small, so results should be treated as a product preview rather than a definitive ranking of US counties.

Data safeguards
The scoring model intentionally does not use religion, race, ethnicity, national origin, disability, family status, age, sex, or other protected-class variables. It also does not include mosques, churches, synagogues, temples, or any religion-specific places in the score. Future data imports should preserve this constraint.
