How it works: each city is placed against all cities of 20,000+ on every factor you pick (“better than 82%”), and “matters a lot” counts twice as much as “matters”. Missing data counts against a city. Crime uses only a city's own police department; air quality only the city's own county. An age preference counts like “matters”.
