- Home affordability. The site looked at median home value and selected monthly homeowner costs to prioritize affordable communities.
- Prosperity and growth. Looking at current and past family incomes, the site calculated the income of residents, as well as the projected long-term growth of each city.
- Quality of education. The Web site looked at ratings from GreatSchools to find the best schools for young families.
- Family friendliness. This year, the Web site added a new component to their methodology — the percentage of families with school-age children and the poverty rate for young children. This measure helps determine if an area is not only affordable for families, but also if it is a healthy one for children.
