The team then asked users to rate their city’s friendliness on a scale of 1-10, taking into account factors such as “frequency of positive interaction with strangers,” the likelihood of getting help when needed and the general friendliness among locals. The data for each factor was combined to create each city’s score out of 10 which, according to the team, “blended quantitative data with lived experiences of the locals.”
