Accountability

Public /corrections alias and identity CiteThis blocks

Added a /corrections redirect to the editorial corrections process, a public /changelog of corroborated changes, and Cite this page blocks on identity and legal pages so readers have a stable citation string and a clear path to report data issues.

Crawl freshness

Honest per-page sitemap lastmod

Static and rankings sitemap entries now stamp lastmod from git or data vintage per page instead of a single portal-wide fingerprint (commit 2477ff0).

Citation surface

Answer capsules on guides and hubs

Guides hub, board pages, and rankings hub now carry a machine-legible data-answer-capsule so AI and snippet extractors can quote a stable lead answer (commit 56e5db9).

Index hygiene

Unknown entity routes return real 404

County, metro, state (and child) routes for unknown slugs now return HTTP 404 instead of soft-404 redirect patterns that left crawl residual (commit 490ef9c).

Data truth

ZIP pages show HUD SAFMR rents, not county FMR

Ingested HUD Small Area FMR (SAFMR) so ZIP pages answer with ZIP-level rents. Example: ZIP 60601 now shows the SAFMR 1BR figure instead of Cook County FMR (commit cb2915e).
