Accessibility Statement
A neighborhood guide is only useful if everyone can read it. This site is built to WCAG 2.1 AA as a working target, and barriers are treated as defects.
What is implemented
- Semantic structure
- Every page uses a single H1 with an ordered heading hierarchy, real landmarks, and lists and tables marked up as lists and tables rather than styled text.
- Keyboard operability
- Navigation, disclosure controls, and the interactive map are reachable and operable by keyboard with visible focus styling.
- Contrast
- Body text and interface elements are designed to meet or exceed AA contrast against their backgrounds in both the light and dark editorial sections.
- Text alternatives
- Meaningful images carry descriptive alternative text; decorative graphics are hidden from assistive technology.
- Responsive and zoomable
- Layouts reflow to 320px width and remain readable at 200% zoom without horizontal scrolling of body content.
- Reduced motion
- Motion effects respect the operating system's reduced-motion preference.
Known limitations
The interactive neighborhood map is a visual tool. Every place plotted on it also appears in text elsewhere in the guide — schools, dining, parks, and amenity pages each list the same locations with drive times and context — so no information exists only inside the map.
Some external sources this guide links to, particularly county and municipal record systems, are outside our control and may not meet the same standard. Where a lookup is difficult to use, the surrounding page explains in text what the lookup will tell you.
Reporting a barrier
If any part of this guide is difficult or impossible to use with your assistive technology, send the page URL, the technology and browser you are using, and what happened, through the contact page. Accessibility reports are handled with the same priority as factual corrections.
If a fix will take time, we will provide the content you were trying to reach in an accessible format in the meantime.
