Niche gathers data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in addition to millions of resident reviews to create its annual rankings. 

"Choosing where to live is no small task," said Luke Skurman, CEO and founder of Niche. "We know that people consider far more than just affordability when deciding where to call home, from neighborhood diversity and weather conditions to career opportunities and the quality of the schools. There’s no one-size-fits-all formula. Our rankings have always aspired to give families, homebuyers, professionals and retirees the data and insights they need to reliably and confidently discover their next place to live."
