Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
Public schools that outperform most of Missouri. This town of 2,512 people was settled in 1960.
One weak subject stands out against an otherwise good record. Where it does best is schools (A−): its schools rank ahead of just over four fifths of Missouri towns. It also does well on incomes (B+) — the median household earns $81K. What holds it back is walkability. Most errands need a car: it is less walkable than 84% of U.S. towns. At about $321K, a typical home costs 4.9 years of the St. Joseph metro’s $65K median household income. All told, that adds up to a B overall and a rank of 85th of 247 in Missouri. On that grade it does better than 63% of U.S. towns.
