The score weights Income 20%, Safety 20%, Housing 15%, Rent 15%, Education 10%, Commute 10%, and Childcare 10%, with each sub-score benchmarked against national percentiles rather than state averages — so the grade is genuinely comparable across any city in the country. Strengths visible in the raw data for Holliday, MO include rent. Pressure points are education. Unemployment currently reads 3.7% and poverty 14.3% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
