How this score is computed

Weighted average of seven 0–100 normalized signals. Each signal is normalized against the city cohort, then combined with the weights below.

Formula
score = 20%·permits + 20%·price + 15%·business + 15%·income + 10%·coffee + 10%·reviews + 10%·complaints
Signals are clipped at the 5/95th percentile before normalization to reduce outlier influence.
