Compare →How We Find Cities Similar to Urbana
We compare saved cost indexes (30% of the score), home values (20%), rent estimates (15%), population (15%) and region (20%). Financial differences are measured relative to the two cities, and population uses a logarithmic scale. Rent estimates prefer city ZIP data when available.
A match needs at least two financial factors available for both cities. Missing factors reduce the score instead of counting as matches. Each card lists the factors actually compared. Scores are a ranking aid, not a percentage probability, a measure of data accuracy, or a promise of a similar lifestyle. Climate, schools, jobs and your personal budget are not part of this score.
