How Top City Reports Works
Real Government Data
We pull from the U.S. Census Bureau ACS, FBI Crime Data Explorer, and NOAA — the same sources used by researchers and policymakers.
Proprietary Scoring
Every score is calculated using our proprietary methodology — combining affordability, educational attainment, safety, weather, and livability signals into 0–100 ratings.
Updated Annually
Data is updated yearly as the U.S. Census, FBI, and NOAA release new figures.
