Twelve federal and public data sources — environment, flood, climate, crime, schools, the local economy — compiled into one plain-English brief. Not a listing. Not an ad. A report.
The summary is free. The full nine-section brief is $29 — pay once, no account, no subscription.
The data already knows the answer. It is just scattered across twelve federal websites.
Flood declarations sit with FEMA. Air quality sits with the EPA. Crime sits with the FBI, filed by individual police departments. Every one of them is public, and none of them are written for someone deciding where to live. DwellBrief pulls all twelve and writes the brief.
Nine sections, every one naming the federal dataset behind it. Scroll to read the real brief for 412 Highland Avenue.
No EPA-regulated facilities of any kind within ten miles of this address, and none within three. On the federal environmental record this is about as quiet as an address gets.
20 federal disaster declarations on record for this county across 26 years — about 0.8 a year — and hurricanes are the recurring cause, not a one-off. Seismic risk reads elevated.
Live conditions and the 7-day outlook from the nearest National Weather Service office, plus any active watches or warnings for the county. Nothing active when this brief was compiled.
Current AQI from the 2 nearest EPA monitoring stations, with the dominant pollutant named. 39 sits in the “Good” band.
Reported to the FBI by Montclair Police Department for 2025 — this address's own municipal department, not a state average standing in for a town.
Reported as context. Crime is never scored and never enters the Profile Index. Reporting practices differ between departments, so figures compare imperfectly across towns.
Housing and income read at Census Tract (Neighborhood) scale rather than city-wide — the same five-year American Community Survey estimates lenders and planners use.
State unemployment against the national figure for June 2026, plus the borrowing climate you would actually buy in — the current 30-year mortgage rate and year-over-year inflation, pulled live from FRED.
Every institution within 25 miles, New York University among them, with Department of Education figures on tuition and post-graduation earnings — the part of “good schools” that has actual federal data behind it.
Enrollment, student-teacher ratios and reading and math proficiency (averaging 55% and 33% across 19 schools with published scores) from the federal Common Core of Data. Facts, not a composite rating — and these are the schools near the address, not the zoned ones, which the brief states plainly.
Any U.S. address. DwellBrief geocodes it and pulls twelve public datasets in parallel.
The DwellBrief Profile Index, a 0–100 score, and a one-line finding for each of five categories — free, every time.
$29, once. Nine sections of charts, tables and a written read — flood history, municipal crime, schools, the local economy and more.
The summary comes back free in about twenty seconds. The full nine sections are $29, once — no account, no subscription.
