How SetTern relocation data works

Data sources

• Official portals — government immigration and statistics sites where cited on each page.
• Structured city seeds — curated baselines in our knowledge graph, optionally synced to Supabase.
• Agent pipelines — scheduled ingestion (signals, costs, community forums) with quality gates before publish.
• Community intelligence — public expat/relocation discussions summarised into plain-English pulse updates (see /insights).

Relocation score (0–10)

Composite of bureaucracy, cost, remote-work fit, safety, housing, healthcare, social life, and transport — tuned per city. Trend direction reflects recent agent and community signals. Scores are indicative, not a guarantee of outcome.

Verified facts

Key numbers (budget bands, visa route, score) carry a source URL and tier: government, official_portal, or verified_media. Pages without verified facts are not promoted in our daily SEO pipeline.

Update frequency

City HTML pages: ISR refresh at least every 24 hours. Daily automation revalidates changed URLs and notifies search engines via IndexNow. Community pulse updates as new forum scans arrive (typically every few hours).

What this is not

SetTern does not provide immigration, tax, or legal advice. Always confirm visa and residency rules with official authorities before you move.
