The list weighs “key factors that are meaningful for families at the suburb level” in order to “measure the appeal of an area for families,” according to the website.

Data from the U.S. Census, FBI and CDC, along with other sources, were crunched to form a letter grade for a number of categories, including cost of living, public schools, crime and real estate.

While some top-ranking neighborhoods received high marks for housing and education, others came in as average for factors like diversity and cost of living.
