Direction of better

Lower values are better. Used to rank candidate towns/properties; lower score = stronger fit.

Unit

Values are reported in miles.

Default weight in Commute composite

80% of the Commute composite by default. Users can override this weight in their intake; the displayed score reflects the user's chosen weighting, never a fixed default.

Where the data lives

Tables: municipality_spatial_enrichment, parcels

Columns: lat,lng, lat,lng

Input field: lat,lng,destinations

JSON-LD example

Every value emitted by ValiFit (in /api/v1, MCP responses, on-page JSON-LD) carries a propertyID set to this metric_id, so AI clients can resolve it back here in one round-trip.
