It's our favorite time of year again - Halloween! Bring on the haunted houses, creepy costumes and goodies galore.
Halloween also means it’s time for Zillow's annual roundup of the best cities in the U.S. to take your little creatures trick or treating.
Zillow's research team has been data crunching around the clock to nail down the winners, introducing a new and improved methodology that allowed us to identify areas with the greatest share of population under the age of 15, and where homes are closest together. After all, trick or treating is way more fun with other kids and when you can get the most candy in the shortest amount of time.
The results are in, and topping the list for the fifth year in a row is San Francisco. Other repeats include Denver, Seattle and Minneapolis, along with new appearances by Charlotte, Dallas, Nashville and Jacksonville.
Check out the complete Trick-or-Treat Index below to see if your city made the cut! Also keep a lookout for neighborhood rankings in each of these cities.
Happy trick or treating!
Neighborhood Rankings
Methodology
Zillow researchers calculate the Trick-or-Treat Index using four different variables. They look at the Zillow Home Value Index, which shows the value of homes in single family residences. They also look at local crime data, how close each house is to its neighbor, and the age of the residents who live there. This data combines to give us the safest cities to trick or treat, where trick-or-treaters can get the best candy, in the least amount of time.
