How we research Discover Dilworth

For any factual claim about regulation, school assignment, or parcel data — the categories most likely to affect a real decision — we cite a primary source: the City of Charlotte, the Historic District Commission, Mecklenburg County's assessor and POLARIS parcel system, or Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools directly. We avoid citing aggregator sites or other blogs for facts of this kind. Answer-specific citations appear only where the source supports that answer; a general source list should not be mistaken for verification of every claim.

For softer, qualitative claims — how a street feels on a Saturday morning, where to start exploring — we distinguish editorial guidance from measured facts. We omit unsupported prices, wait times and statistics rather than presenting an estimate as verified reporting.

If you find something inaccurate or out of date, tell us. We review every correction request, and where a claim is wrong, we fix the page — typically within a few business days for straightforward factual errors, longer for claims that require re-verification with a government office. If we decide not to change something, we'll explain our reasoning if you ask.
