** About these ratings: Our category scores (1–10) are generated from a blend of public review data, store information, and neighborhood context, with the store’s Google rating and total review count serving as the baseline. Where details are missing, we use conservative, evidence‑based estimates—Quality (reported 1–5) is normalized to a 10‑point scale. The Thrift Map Rating aggregates categories using the following weights: Inventory Selection (20%), Quality (20%), Pricing (15%), Customer Service (15%), Organization (10%), Store Atmosphere (10%), Accessibility Rating (5%), Neighborhood Safety (5%); results are rounded to one decimal. These scores are informational, may not reflect current conditions, and are not endorsed by or affiliated with the listed businesses. Spot an error? Please let us know so we can review and update.
