- Cost of Living
- Economic opportunity
- Diversity
- Education
- Amenities
- Health & safety
- Housing market
- Income & personal finances

To keep their goal of highlighting the affordability of each location, they put extra weight on the cost of living, economic opportunity, and housing affordability.
