How the Beacon Score™ is calculated

Scores are estimates derived from public, verified data sources — FBI Uniform Crime Reports, FEMA National Risk Index, US Census population & income data, BLS jobs data, and the EPA Walkability Index. We combine state-level baselines with any location-specific signals we have on file.

  • Safety: violent + property crime exposure, blended with natural-hazard risk.
  • Investment: market strength, income, jobs growth, and rent-ability.
  • Future: population & employment growth trajectory.
  • Lifestyle: amenity density, walkability, climate comfort, schools.
  • Beacon Score: weighted blend (safety 30%, lifestyle 25%, investment 20%, future 20%, plus a small methodology adjustment).

Higher is better on every score. Scores update when underlying data changes (methodology v1, last computed 6/26/2026).
