Is Tracyton a good place to live?
A good place to live, if you can afford it. Its strongest subject is walkability: it is easier to get around on foot or by transit than 91% of U.S. towns. Health is another plus — residents are healthier than 77% of U.S. towns on CDC estimates.

Overall, that makes a B+, good for 42nd of 285 in Washington. That leaves it better than 74% of U.S. towns. On the outdoors, just 22 of Washington’s 397 towns do worse. Tracyton’s going rate for rent is $1,858 a month, against $1,737 a month in Washington’s towns and $1,185 a month across U.S. towns.
