Methodology
We turn public environmental records into a first-screening report for a specific address. The goal is to show what is worth reviewing, what the source can and cannot prove, and what to ask next.
We normalize the submitted U.S. address and match it to latitude, longitude, ZIP, county, state, and census tract identifiers where available.
We check federal and public datasets for air quality, drinking-water compliance, flood zone, natural hazard, regulated facility, and Superfund signals.
Each category is interpreted with source-specific rules so one signal does not hide another. Grades are screening signals, not health or safety determinations.
The report translates findings into plain-English context, confidence notes, freshness notes, and practical questions to ask before buying, renting, or relocating.
A grade is a plain-English screening signal for a category such as air quality, drinking water, flood and natural hazard, or pollution and cleanup sites. It is designed to help you prioritize review. It is not a promise that a home is safe or unsafe.
