Weights

How the ranking works

Every slider is a weight from 0 to 5. Zero means “ignore this.”
For each thing you weight, every county gets a 0–100 score on that one thing: “better than X% of the counties being compared.” It always points the way you’d want — cheaper, warmer, safer all score high.
Your overall score is the weighted average of those. A 5 counts five times as much as a 1.
Counties are sorted by that overall score. That’s the list below.

Click any county to see its numbers and the arithmetic behind its score. Totals can differ by a tenth of a point from what you’d get by hand, because each per-item score is rounded to one decimal.
