The website Niche grades cities, towns and neighborhoods on a number of criteria, and creates rankings based on the cumulative scores given to the areas in question. The criteria include public schools, housing, diversity, nightlife and suitability for families. Jobs, weather and cost of living are some of the other factors being weighed.
