Raleigh uses a council-manager government, so day-to-day administration runs through an unelected city manager. The mayor's performance will be scored as shared, and labeled that way.
City outcome data (unemployment, crime, cost of living and more) is in the verification pipeline. We publish numbers only after they clear it. Methodology
