Climate wise the Lehizzle is not going to make it. Recreation is good. Transportation is ok, but could be better, salaries are awul, employment is bad and taken over by employment agencies. There is a very false everything is rosy picture here in the LV.

The purpose of a school project is to show you how difficult it is to come up with a subjective answer given statistical information.

The emphasis is more on procedure. You might want to do certain steps
I) limit your universe of possible answers. Do you want to live anywhere in the world? Do you want to be restricted to 34 OECD countries , or to USA and it's territories like Puerto Rico and Guam

II) Work on your level of refinement. If your objective is to pick the best OECD country, then you can't distinguish between living a big expensive city or a small town.

II) Decide on your candidate person that you are looking for. The best place to live for a single mother of two on a limited income is different than a retired couple with a decent income. Is this person educated? Are they disabled or healthy? Are they religious or not?

Use some statistics, but work on your procedure. You are much more likely to get an A.

considering climate change may bring rising sea levels and stronger hurricanes... the lehigh valley may be much better off than nearby NYC, New Jersey and even Philly..
