Neighborhoods are ranked using the Young Professional (YP) Score, a composite index that prioritizes the metrics most important to early-career professionals choosing where to live:
- Walkability (Walk Score)
- 25% weight
- Transit Access (Transit Score)
- 20% weight
- Job Market (Unemployment Rate)
- 20% weight
- Affordable Rent (Median Rent)
- 20% weight
- Bikeability (Bike Score)

Walkability is weighted highest because young professionals tend to prefer neighborhoods where daily errands, dining, and entertainment are accessible on foot. Transit and bikeability scores reflect commute flexibility without car ownership. The job market factor rewards low unemployment, while affordable rent ensures neighborhoods are financially accessible to early-career earners.
