Could you post population demographics and see if there are any correlation?


Half of the top ten are among the least diverse. Most of the top ten are bottom 20% of diversity. None are in the top 15.

I find this very interesting. Not saying it's impossible that they could be ranked in the top five. But still it's interesting.

Yeah if "diversity is our greatest strength" then why is it not one of the biggest factors in these rankings? Hmmm

Please don't tell me you actually think this plays a factor is rankings...



Uh, it does, your dumb kneejerk reaction to that reality notwithstanding

Amorphous measures of "racial bias" are included in crime category. Equality is 40% of the opportunity category rating, and is measured in things that may have nothing to do with actual equality under law, like wage gaps and disparities among the races in education and income.

But quality of life is a bit difficult to quantify

It would take a lot of money to keep me happy in frozen arse North Dakota
