What gets scored
Six domains, one household
Energy
What you burn, what you buy, and what you'd keep running if the grid went quiet.
Food
How much of what you eat you can trace, grow, preserve or source close to home.
Water
What you use, what you catch, what you reuse, and what happens on a dry year.
Home & Materials
The air you breathe indoors, the heat you hold, and what your house is made of.
Waste & Cycles
Whether what leaves your house is a loss or a return to the soil.
Land & Living Things
The pollinators, roots and soil life sharing your square footage — balcony included.

Open LandIQQuestions
Before you start
- What is a HomeIQ score?
- Your HomeIQ score is a 0–100 read on how self-reliant your household already is across six domains — energy, food, water, home, waste and land. It also shows the score you could reach where you live now, without moving house.
- How long does the assessment take?
- About four minutes. There are twenty-one questions plus four short grounding questions about your lane, space, household size and climate. Your answers save as you go, so you can leave and come back.
- Do I need to own land or a house?
- No. HomeIQ scores what you can actually change where you live. Apartment dwellers, renters and windowsill gardeners get a plan scaled to their space, the same way acreage owners do.
- Is the HomeIQ assessment free?
- Yes. Your score, your six-domain breakdown and your first three moves are free on screen. The printable twelve-month report is unlocked with your email.
- How is HomeIQ different from LandIQ?
- LandIQ reads your land — soil, solar, water, flood and wetland data for a specific address. HomeIQ reads your household — habits, systems and what you're willing to change. Most people run both.
