Green = clearly better (more than 5% apart). Population, growth, weather, hospital count and foreign-born share aren’t scored.
The Census tops out at $3,500+ for rent and $250,000+ for household income; it doesn't publish exact figures above those. Two capped values can't be compared, so neither is marked better.
