Seven Questions Produce Three Matches — With the Scoring Matrix in Plain View
Each neighborhood holds a score from 0 to 3 for every possible answer to every question. Seven answers give a maximum of 21, and the percentage on a result card is that score over 21. The shortlist is computed in the browser and shown for free; the email step exists only for the PDF.

The budget answer is not scored like the others. It applies an exclusion list first — areas outside the stated range are removed from the pool — and only then are the survivors ranked.
How the score is built, and what comes out
Scoring
0 to 3
Every neighborhood holds a score from 0 to 3 for every possible answer to every question. The matrix is a published table, not a hidden model.
21 maximum
Seven answers × 3 points. The percentage on a result card is that neighborhood's total divided by 21.
Exclusion before ranking
The budget band removes areas outside the stated range before anything is scored, so the ranking runs over a pool the visitor can actually buy in.
What the matrices contain
Price band, year-round services and commute access, rental demand, seasonal and waterfront character, property-type availability, drive access and walkability. Objective area characteristics only.
Where it runs
In the browser. The result is recomputed live on the visitor's device, and nothing is stored before consent is given.
The result
3 matches, never 1
The top three survivors are returned together, so the output is a shortlist to compare rather than a single verdict.
Per card
Rank, match percentage, one "why this matches your preferences" sentence, the area's price range, its walk score, and a link into the full neighborhood profile.
The reason sentence
Generated from the single highest-scoring category and it names the criterion — for example "competitive price per square foot for the region" or "quick highway, rail and airport connections".
Retake
Resets to question one without leaving the visitor's language.
The optional email step
What it asks
Email, an optional phone with an explicit "I'd like a call" choice, and a consent checkbox linking to the privacy policy.
Where it goes
After consent, the complete result is securely added to Active Leads with Neighborhood Match Quiz recorded as its origin.
What the CRM receives
The whole answer set with the ranked matches: Goal | Budget | Property use | Vibe | Lifestyle | Property | Priority | Top matches: Area (86%), Area (81%), Area (76%).
The PDF
Branded A4, generated in the browser after consent: the seven answers as a labelled table, the three matches with percentage and reason, the agent's contact block and an informational disclaimer.
Noto Sans embedded
The font travels with the document, so Cyrillic result text prints as text instead of as blank glyphs.
5 languages
Questions, answer labels, why-match sentences, the email step and the PDF all exist in English, Spanish, Russian, French and Portuguese.
What the visitor sees before anything is asked of them
The ranked shortlist is the free part. The email modal only opens if they want the PDF.
No Demographic Data Enters the Scoring Matrices
This is the design, not a disclaimer.
A quiz that suggests where someone should live is a fair-housing problem. This one is built the other way around: it takes the visitor's own stated criteria, scores areas against objective characteristics of those areas, and shows the arithmetic. Neighborhood matching sits under Fair Housing review in the marketing system, which is why the copy on the product and the copy on this page both stay strictly on mechanism.
- Every input to the calculation is a property of the place: price band, year-round services and commute access, rental demand, seasonal and waterfront character, property-type availability, drive access, walkability. There is no demographic variable in any matrix.
- The quiz organises the buyer's own stated preferences. It is not a recommendation of where any person should live and not a prediction of suitability for any person, family or group.
- No safety, school-quality, prestige or "good area" framing appears — in English, Spanish, Russian, French or Portuguese.
- Results are informational. They are not an appraisal and not legal or financial advice.
- Nothing is stored before consent. The ranked shortlist is computed and shown on the visitor's device first; the email step is a separate, optional action for the PDF.
- We make no claim about lead volume, conversion or search rankings. What is described here is what the quiz does.
Where it sits
Before
Nothing precedes it
Top of funnel. The visitor arrives without a shortlist and often without a neighborhood name they could type into a search box.
