Rating the suburbs
Its most popular issue is the annual "Rating the Suburbs," which examines which communities in Greater Cleveland are best suited to live in based on values such as quality of schools, proximity to hospitals, crime rankings and home values. Critics say the rankings are biased towards newer, outer ring suburbs. Neighborhoods in the city of Cleveland proper are not ranked at all, which critics suggest perpetuates the stereotype that Cleveland is not livable. The top-ranked suburb for 2008 was Solon, Ohio.
