Some of the criteria the site looked at included commute time, hours worked per week, size of household, unemployment rate, and poverty rate. They also looked at the number of things to do in town, based on Yelp data. Basically, if you don’t waste time getting to and from work, work less, and have a family, then you’re in good shape.
