Field notes
The landing page organizes 11 U.S. fab locations into town profiles and question-led guides, including schools, taxes, healthcare, commute, spouse jobs, and first-month paperwork. Its map can switch between fab status, home price, and fab count, while town cards provide price ranges and links to guides. The page says prices are town-level estimates drawn from several public sources; the homepage also exposes a sources section, though the extract does not show the underlying citations or their dates.
