transportation_access

Commute and access quality around the property: walkability, highway access, and transit availability.

Transportation and commute quality including walkability, highway access, and overall commute assessment.

The question it answers

What is this house, physically?

The feature vector, taken from the source of record rather than from a listing agent. Assessor and parcel records are authoritative; listing fields are agent-entered, inconsistent between markets, and absent entirely for a property that was never listed.

Why it matters

Access is a location premium whose sign varies by market. A highway interchange nearby is a premium in one metro and a discount in another, so the class records the measurements rather than a single score with the weighting already applied.

In practice

Walkability, highway proximity and transit availability are held separately because they are separately available. A jurisdiction with no transit has a genuine absence rather than a low score, and collapsing the three into one number makes the two indistinguishable.

Provenance and coverage

A record of this class is validated against the same definition whatever jurisdiction it came from, which is what makes two counties comparable without a per-county adapter. A jurisdiction appears below only where a committed configuration serves this class's surface.
