Attention Trick-or-Treaters: Get Thee to Connecticut
Richard Florida and Charlotta Mellander created this map of
the best places to trick-or-treat in the U.S. based on five factors:
Number of kids aged 5 to 14;
Household income (more money = more candy)
Population density
Walkability
Creative spirit
