“Our ranking is based on four variables: home prices, crime data, school rankings, and an X factor score that accounts for things that can’t be easily quantified, such as access to open space, public transportation, and restaurants and shops. Each category is weighted: 30 percent for year-over-year percentage change in home values; 25 percent for safety; 15 percent for neighborhood school ratings; and 30 percent for the X factor. Our initial list of 78 neighborhoods (which was whittled down to 73, as you’ll read below) is based on the city of Denver’s official map. That explains why you won’t see areas like LoHi or RiNo mentioned; officially, they’re not considered their own neighborhoods—even though locals would probably disagree.
