What data does ZipScore use?

ZipScore uses data from the US Census Bureau (demographics, income, housing), FBI Uniform Crime Reports (crime rates), EPA AirData (air quality), and National Weather Service (climate). All data is sourced from official US government databases and updated regularly.

How is the ZipScore rating calculated?

ZipScore (0-100) is a composite score weighted across: Safety 25%, Affordability 20%, Schools 15%, Air Quality 10%, Climate 10%, Commute 10%, and Disaster Risk 10%. A score above 75 indicates an excellent neighborhood; 60-74 is good; 40-59 is average; below 40 needs careful review.

Can I compare two ZIP codes on ZipScore?

Yes. Use the Compare tool at zipscore.trendnovaworld.org/compare to side-by-side compare any two US ZIP codes across safety, schools, housing costs, income, air quality, and more.

What is a good ZipScore?

A ZipScore of 75 or above is considered excellent. Scores between 60-74 indicate a good neighborhood with solid fundamentals. Scores of 40-59 are average, and anything below 40 suggests significant tradeoffs that should be carefully reviewed before moving.
