State / Region Preference

Rewards places located in states selected from the guided region or state preference.

Scale0-100

Higher values rank better for this score.

How It's Calculated

State / Region Preference needs at least one selected state before top locations can be ranked.

1
Each place is compared with the selected state list.
2
Places in a selected state score 100 for this criterion
3
places in other states score 0.
4
Low, Medium, and High importance levels turn that 0-100 signal into a weighted ranking boost. Must-Have uses a true include-state filter instead.
