Welcome to LivablePlace.org
We're on a mission to remind America that a livable place is a good thing.
So what makes a place livable? Here's our criteria:
This is not your usual "Where should I live" internet SEO farm, none of the listings at Livable Place are generically mined from the web. This means building out the site will take time, but we don't think anyone has the chops to call somewhere Livable without analyzing it thoroughly IN PERSON.
So what makes a place livable? Here's our criteria:
- It's built at a human scale, that means people walking and biking get priority over cars. Serious points will be deducted for an abundance of the dreaded "Stroad".
- Dedicated bike paths are the only thing considered bike infrastructure. Paint in the middle of a busy road is NOT a bike path.
- School quality is crosschecked across multiple sources.
- Availability of highly rated daycares.
- Number of public amenities, parks, green spaces, concert venues, community events, farmers markets etc.
- The website Walkscore, while well intentioned, is completely meaningless, our walk score is based more in reality. Just because there's a side walk, it doesn't mean it's actually a walkable place.
- The efficiency of the town and willingness to upzone quickly.
