How this guide is made.
Sources, verification, update cadence, and what we will not publish.
Sources
Neighborhood geography and street data are derived from public mapping data and verified against city and county records. Historical material draws on published local histories and archival reporting. Business listings are compiled from public mapping data and operator websites. School information originates with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools.
- Mecklenburg County GIS — parcels, addresses and jurisdictional geography.
- Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools boundary tools — current school assignments by address.
- City of Charlotte Open Data — streets, planning and public infrastructure.
- OpenStreetMap contributors — road geometry and nearby place coordinates.
- North Carolina Real Estate Commission — due-diligence guidance for buyers.
Distances on street and dining pages are calculated from mapped coordinates and are estimates, not routing instructions. Restaurant status, hours and school assignments should be checked with the operator or responsible authority before a decision.
What we do not publish
We do not publish individual property listings, individual sale prices tied to identifiable addresses, valuations of specific homes, or testimonials and statistics we cannot substantiate. We do not present school assignments as guarantees.
Corrections
Businesses close, boundaries move, and assignments change. Where a page states something time-sensitive, it says so. Corrections are welcome and are applied to the live page rather than annotated at the bottom of it.
Independence
