Ultimately, it aims to answer the question: which counties, cities/towns and zip codes offer the most suitable conditions for investment, business and individual successes?The rating of a county, city/town and zip code is based on its position on the distribution of scores in comparison with all locations. The key dimensions that directly and indirectly affect the quality of life and wellbeing are Housing, Employment, Education, Income, Socio-Economic Wellbeing, and Access to Transport.
