Quick answers to the questions buyers ask us most often.
- What does SettleSavvy do?
- SettleSavvy is a free, AI-powered neighborhood intelligence platform. We score every U.S. census tract against the things you actually care about — safety, schools, commute, affordability, lifestyle — so you can find a neighborhood that fits how you want to live.
- How does SettleSavvy choose neighborhoods?
- You pick the factors that matter to you and how much each one matters. SettleSavvy combines dozens of factors from sources across the internet, weights them by your preferences, and renders a personalized map of every neighborhood.
- Is SettleSavvy free?
- The core product — the personalized map, factor selection, neighborhood scoring, and city guides — is 100% free for buyers, and nothing on the map is paywalled. We earn through agent referral commissions when you're ready to move, and through two optional paid programs: Savvy Select (deeper data layers and matched agents for your top neighborhoods) and The Full Settle (we handle the move end-to-end — agent, movers, utilities, school enrollment). User privacy matters to us: we don't sell your data to third parties.
- Which cities does SettleSavvy cover?
- We cover every U.S. census tract, which means every neighborhood in the country is on the map. We publish deeper guides for Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Miami, New Orleans, Orlando, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, and St. Louis, and add new city guides regularly.
- How is this different than traditional neighborhood research sites?
- Traditional neighborhood research sites give you a single fixed score per neighborhood — the same number for everyone, regardless of what you actually care about. SettleSavvy pulls in richer underlying data across dozens of factors, combines them into one neighborhood score, and lets you decide how much each one counts. The result is a personalized ranking that reflects your specific priorities — so the same neighborhood can rank very differently for a family with kids than for a remote worker who cares about commute and walkability.
