Sources and methodology

Every measure on this page is scored for each neighborhood, then rolled up to Bryant Pattengill East, Ann Arbor.

That absolute scoring is what no other places-to-live ranking does: it puts a single neighborhood, a town, a metro, and a state on one scale, so the same 40 measures answer both which metro to move to and which street inside it to buy on.
