Money & BAH
Are these BAH rates accurate?
We use official rates from DTMO. Your entitlement may vary by orders and ZIP—verify with your finance office.
What does "Budget Fit" mean?
Comfortable: Rent below BAH.
Stretch: Rent above BAH (out-of-pocket).
Where do rent estimates come from?
RentCast market data with HUD Fair Market Rent fallback. Estimates reflect typical rents, not specific listings.
What is "Commissary Savings (est.)"?
Estimated savings from on-base grocery shopping. Varies by habits and local prices.
Neighborhood Stats
How are school ratings calculated?
GreatSchools ratings (1–10 scale). Higher = stronger performance. Tour schools and talk to families.
What does "Purple Star" mean?
State-designated military-friendly schools with PCS transition support.
Why is commute different than Google?
We use Monday 8am traffic. Gate lines and accidents can add more time.
Where does safety data come from?
FBI state-level statistics. Neighborhoods vary—check AreaVibes or local police for detail.
