Source? Dallas as #1 comes across as a monumental error in these rankings. And Des Moines as #2... And #3... Colorado Springs? Have you seen Detective Kenda's series? If what you are trying to do is to tie income with housing/rental price (affordability), and add some measure of crime on top of it, you are always going to come back with a suspect ranking. What would be interesting is a ranking of best places to live by household income bracket.

i found all the information U.S. News - Real Estate. the original source goes in much more detail with different statistics. I just knew it'd be too much information to fit in one quiz so i narrowed it down to 3 statistics i felt were important. Perhaps these 3 don't make sense together?? idk the source is: https://realestate.usnews.com/real-estate/slideshows/the-best-places-to-live-in-the-us-for-quality-of-life?slide=2

I've never heard anyone say Portland is affordable. Maybe compared to Boston's South Shore.
