One box. Any real-estate question. The system classifies your intent across 13 categories, routes to the right data (parcels, listings, towns, agents, pipeline, methodology), and composes a direct answer with the underlying citations.
The safety composite measures the safety of an area based on factors like the ratio of police officers to crime rates, with a score ranging from 0 to 100, where lower scores indicate better safety. This composite is derived from federal sources such as the FBI's LEE and NIBRS data. For more detailed information, you can refer to our methodology page.
Why: The user is asking for an explanation of a specific composite, which aligns with a methodology question.
