I can’t help but laugh at the Zillow “trick-or-treat housing index” but I’m sure that is the point 🙂 We have some crazy stuff on this blog but I’m tipping my hat to Spencer for the entertainment value even if the ‘index’ is limited to Seattle (Zillows location) and Los Angeles.

If your hood is in either location then here are the top 5 best targets for filling your sack with candy:

Seattle:

1. Wallingford
2. Queen Anne
3. Magnolia
4. University District
5. Capitol Hill

Los Angeles

1. Venice
2. Los Feliz
3. Westwood
4. Silver Lake
5. Beverly Hills

Their methodology?

There is a common belief that wealthy neighborhoods are the Holy Grail for harvesting the most Halloween candy. However, to provide a more holistic approach to Halloween trick-or-treating, the Zillow Trick-or-Treat Housing Index was calculated using four equally weighted data variables: Zillow Home Value Index, population density, Walk Score, and local crime data. Based on those variables, this Index represents neighborhoods that will provide the most candy, with the least walking, and minimum safety risks.

I’d love to know if the crime data includes the location of registered sex offenders.
