Best Cities For Trick-or-Treating
Halloween is around the corner, which means it’s time for creepy costumes, haunted houses, and enough candy to satisfy any sweet tooth.
Every year, Zillow’s candy-loving economists crunch the numbers to find out which cities are best for your little monsters to score the best goodies. To figure out where kids can trick-or-treat with lots of other children and get the most candy in the shortest amount of time, Zillow researchers look at home values, how close homes are to each other, crime rate and the share of population under 10 years old.
Making the biggest jump to take over the top spot is Philadelphia. San Jose, San Francisco, Milwaukee and Los Angeles round out the top five. Austin is a newcomer in 2016, and Baltimore and Washington, D.C. return after missing the cut last year.
