Editorial Policy
Last updated: September 2026
This Editorial Policy outlines the standards and principles that guide all content published on Where Should I Live?. Our goal is to provide useful, honest, and well-researched information to our readers.
Original Research
Our content is created through original research using publicly available data sources. We compile and analyze information from government databases, cost of living indices, census data, and other reputable sources to build our articles and quiz frameworks.
Accuracy and No Fabrication
We do not fabricate, exaggerate, or distort information. All factual claims in our articles are based on data we have reasonably verified. If we discover that published information is inaccurate, we will correct it promptly.
Sourcing and Citations
When we reference specific data points, statistics, or studies, we cite our sources. We prioritize authoritative sources such as:
- Government statistical agencies (e.g., U.S. Census Bureau, Bureau of Labor Statistics).
- Established cost of living databases (e.g., Numbeo, Council for Community and Economic Research).
- International organizations (e.g., World Bank, UN data).
- Peer-reviewed research and reputable publications.
Opinion vs. Fact
We clearly distinguish between factual information and opinion. When we express an opinion or subjective assessment, we make that clear in the text. Our editorial recommendations are labeled as such and are not presented as objective facts.
Quiz Result Disclosures
We are transparent about the limitations of our quiz results. Quiz outcomes are based on simplified criteria and are intended for exploration and entertainment. Every quiz page includes appropriate disclaimers explaining that results should not be treated as professional advice.
Regular Updates
We review and update our content on a regular basis to ensure it remains as accurate and relevant as possible. Data-driven articles are particularly reviewed when new data becomes available.
AI-Assisted Content
We may use AI tools as part of our content creation process. However, all AI-generated content is thoroughly reviewed, fact-checked, and edited by a human before publication. We do not publish unreviewed AI-generated content. Final editorial responsibility always rests with our team.
Contact
If you believe any of our content contains inaccuracies, please reach out through our Contact page. We take corrections seriously and will investigate promptly.
