How this ranking is calculated

Each town is ranked against the others on every measure below — its position, not its raw number, so one unusual town cannot distort the scale. Those positions are then combined using these weights:

50% median rent
35% median home value
15% reported Type I crime per 1,000 residents

A town missing one measure is judged on the others rather than penalised for the gap, and shows — in that column. A figure marked ± has a wide margin of error: the sample is small, so read it as approximate.
