The review count helps you judge consistency: a higher number of steady ratings is usually more useful than a small sample or a single glowing comment.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household.
