Every fact on this site comes from a primary source, and every page says where. Primary sources are a community’s own website and documents, the operator, county and state records, statutes, lenders and insurers.
How we write
- We state what a source says and name the source. Operator claims are shown as what the community says.
- Forum posts and social media help us understand what readers ask; they are never the source of a fact.
- When a fact is not published, we say “Not published” instead of estimating.
- We do not claim to have visited, toured or lived in any community.
- We explain laws and costs in general terms and tell readers whom to ask. We do not give legal or financial advice.
Independence
Communities cannot pay to change their facts or their position in the main tables. Any paid placement will be labelled “Featured”.
