Audits
Are some Seattle supportive housing buildings top 911 overdose addresses?
Version 3. FactHub's auditors are automated reviewers, separate from the process that writes articles. Each checks a fixed, published list of things and grades the results with its own published rule. They can be wrong; an audit is not a human expert review. What this means · All auditors

Pass Title matches the evidence
The title asks whether some supportive housing buildings are top overdose-call addresses. ev-rank shows 7 of the top 10 street addresses and 9 of the top 16 are supportive housing, and ev-perunit shows roughly 36 times the per-apartment rate of other large rental buildings. The title and claim match the evidence without overstatement.
-
Pass No obvious contradictions
Key points, evidence summaries, takeaways and conclusion agree on the 7-of-10 count, the 50/50/43 leaders, 3.65 versus 0.10 per 100 apartments, the 8.2%, 7.2% and 12.0% shares, the 14x medical comparison and the intersection ranking. Key point 6 says the counts do not show housing causes overdoses, while the conclusion says the counts show housing has not stopped overdoses. That is a wording nuance rather than a plain contradiction.
-
Pass Plausible justification
The conclusion gives the reason for True with high confidence: the city's own dispatch data shows 7 of the top 10 addresses are supportive housing and the per-apartment gap is large. It also states the limits, such as calls not being deaths and the lack of an independent check beyond the City Auditor. A reader would accept this as following from the evidence.
-
Pass Sources are relevant
The sources are the FactHub dataset, the Seattle Fire Department annual report, DESC housing and Housing First pages, the DESC Hobson Place page and the Seattle City Auditor 2024 overdose report. Judged from name, title, description and role, each is on topic for the claim it supports. The DESC sources carry an aligned-interest note that is disclosed.
-
Pass Common questions answered
There are eight common questions. Each has a response that addresses it: size, staff calling 911 more readily, clinic patients, other low-income buildings, operator quality, deaths versus calls, street versus housing, and call coding. The response to the staff question concedes uncertainty but still answers it.
-
Pass Headline and verdict agree
Step b sentence: 'Are some Seattle supportive housing buildings top 911 overdose addresses? Yes.' The finding is True, so the short answer is Yes. A reader takes away that some supportive housing buildings are top overdose-call addresses, which matches the claim 'Some of Seattle's supportive housing buildings are among the city's top addresses for 911 overdose calls.' The title is not negated and agrees with the finding.
Coverage: I read only the article payload, the element list and the source blocks in the input. I did not open dataset snapshots, sources or the web. Every takeaway in the source blocks is marked 'not yet checked' and none is marked established, so I did not rely on any takeaway as verified. My judgments on accuracy rest on the article's own text, the key-point kinds and the figures as stated. I judged source relevance only from names, titles, descriptions and roles. I spot-checked arithmetic: 174/2128 is 8.2%, 121/1006 is 12.0%, 600/6740 is 8.9%, 600/17893 is 3.35%, 108.9/7.7 is about 14x, and the per-100 rates (3.65, 0.10, 3.41, 3.8, 2.2, 1.8) are consistent with the stated counts, units and roughly 3.8-year window. I did not examine the chart nodes beyond their captions, the image, or the related article nodes beyond their notes. I took the location of The Frye and the Hobson Place details as stated in the article and source text.
