Designed to prevent steering and discriminatory outcomes
ValiFit's matching algorithm is architected from the ground up to comply with the Fair Housing Act and New Jersey's Law Against Discrimination. We deliberately separate scored metrics (used in rankings) from isolated metrics (shown only on individual town pages) to prevent algorithmic steering.
Objective, non-demographic metrics used in our ranking algorithm:
Shown on town pages but never used for ranking or comparison:
Why this matters: By excluding school ratings, crime data, and demographics from our ranking algorithm, we prevent the system from inadvertently steering users toward or away from neighborhoods based on characteristics that correlate with protected classes. Users make their own informed decisions using isolated data displayed on individual town pages.
All data is sourced directly from official government agencies and is updated regularly to ensure accuracy. Data refresh frequency varies by source, typically ranging from monthly to annually depending on the agency's publication schedule.
