Prototype rankingScores and figures use invented data; they are not official city ratings.

Every city,
in perspective.

Compare 11 sample cities across housing, travel, climate, and air. Choose what matters to you, then sort any column to explore the results.

City rankings.

A score out of 100 under this prototype’s published rules. Rank numbers stay tied to the overall score even when you sort by another measure.

Climate fit uses sample winter and summer temperatures plus hot days.

What matters most

Give one area more weight; the matrix below updates with your choice.

US AVG values are illustrative national reference figures, not official statistics. US REF on the score uses those figures under your current choices.

— means no current sample reading. Provisional scores use a neutral 50 for each missing measure and show reduced coverage.

The scoring matrix.

Each measure gets a 0–100 score. Most use a fixed range and favorable direction; climate uses your selected winter, summer, and hot-day fit. Your priority changes the weights shown below.

A missing or stale measure gets 50 points, and coverage shows how much of the score came from available data. Measure paths, ranges, climate targets, and priority multipliers live in the matrix file.

How to read this

The ranking reflects your chosen priorities and a simple climate fit model. Seasonal temperatures, national averages, and all other metric values are invented for this test. The measures cover different time periods, so this is a UX prototype rather than a factual city-quality rating.
