Data sources

Every official public source Blueprint reads, by country and city.

Blueprint is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any government agency or entity. Grades and scores are Blueprint's own calculation from public records, not an official government rating. The sources below are the official, public open-data services Blueprint reads directly on your device.

Blueprint reads only free, public records published by official government bodies. This page lists the source behind every market the app covers. Records can be incomplete or delayed at the source, and coverage varies by city, so a grade is a starting point for your own research, not the final word. Always verify in person.
