Upper Montclair, NJ
Green = clearly better (more than 5% apart). Population, growth, weather, hospital count and foreign-born share aren’t scored.
The Census tops out at $250,000+ for household income; it doesn't publish exact figures above that. Two capped values can't be compared, so neither is marked better.
* Rate of the agency that polices Upper Montclair (the city has no police department of its own), so it isn’t scored.
