Living in Louisiana is unlike any other.

How Does Niche Calculate Rankings?

Niche creates its rankings by using public data and real reviews from people who live in each place. They gather information from sources like the U.S. Department of Education and the National Science Foundation, then use it to compare things like crime, schools, housing costs, and overall quality of life. They also include opinions from residents to show what living there is really like. All of this is combined into grades that help rate how good each place is to live in.
