About Rank & Score

Onboard Informatics system uses Ranks to determine the Top 10 National Markets list, Top 100 Places list and Top 50 Cities per State lists for editorial and both Scores and Ranks for display on coldwellbanker.com. These are generally defined as follows:

Each attribute for each place is assigned a value (number). In concept, scores and ranks are created by adding up the values for all attributes for a place that are relevant to the category and then ranking / sorting them. In practice, in order to assure that each attribute contributes to the rolled up category scores and ranks correctly, additional calculations are performed as follows:
Scores: Base scores are derived from the raw attribute data by normalizing to a 0 - 1000 point scale. This is required as the raw data displays uniformity of scale (one attributes may have values between 0 and 100, another between 57 and 34212, etc.). Once normalized, each attribute scores is multiplied by a weighting factor between 1 and 5. Weighting factors were assigned by Onboard and approved by Coldwell Banker based on relevance and importance of the attribute to the category. This results in a potential score between 0 and 5000 for a given attribute.

All attribute scores for a category are then summed to create a category score for each place. These raw category scores are then normalized again to a 0 - 1000 scale for display.

Ranks: Ranking is simply the ordering of places by their category score. Sort is in descending order such that the place with the largest category score receives a rank = 1. Unlike scores, ranks are calculated by national market (1-10), top city/ towns (1-100) and within each state (1-50) such that a top "x" list may be generated for the national story and more localized stories and web-pages. The ranking for the Top 10 National Markets list is filtered by core based statistical area (CBSA).
