These Are the 10 Best Places to Take Your Kids Trick-or-Treating This Year

Most parents take a predictable route for trick-or-treating with their kids — a walk around a two- or three-block radius of their home, a possible detour into a neighborhood rumored to have full-size candy bars, and, if applicable, a trip through a special town event designed for kids to get some delicious chocolate loot. But have you ever wondered what your kids' experiences on Halloween are like in comparison to other cities around the country?

To figure out which cities in the US most deliver on Halloween night, SmartAsset conducted a study based on seven key factors, including the density of single-family homes, population percentage of kids under the age of 14, median home value, and average temperature on Oct. 31. Using all of the collected data from 252 of the largest US cities, it compiled a list of the top 10 cities for dressing up to ask strangers for candy.

The Top 10 Places to Trick-or-Treat

SmartAsset goes the extra mile on its website to include the next 15 best places — however, the rest of the data from the other 227 cities analyzed is unclear besides noting that cities in Florida are some of the worst places to trick-or-treat (which is not surprising considering the October heat).

Whether your city is on this list or not, may your child's candy bucket be filled with all of your — oops, their — favorites.
