The city looks good on Zillow. What does its city hall look like?

City Health Score reads the boring stuff most listing sites skip — municipal financials, building permits, hazard exposure, public-sector stress — and tells you in plain English whether a city is worth researching, worth watching, or worth skipping.

Built for buy-and-hold landlords, small multifamily, infill, and out-of-state investors who want to spot city-level risk before they spend a weekend underwriting deals there.

• Fiscal pressure you can't see on Zillow. Pension liabilities, debt loads, and reserve trends from MuniSpot — the same municipal data lenders and bond analysts use, translated for investors.
• One screen, one decision. A single Investment Health Score and a clear “keep researching / watch / pass” signal — not a 40-tab dashboard.
• Honest about what it isn't. City-level only. We surface signals and tell you what to verify next — we don't pretend to underwrite a specific property.
