Rate 12 counties. We compare your answers with current Where I’d Live maps and show the 5 unasked counties that people with similar ratings chose most often. Wondering where to move? The matches come from maps that look like yours, not from a list of amenities.
Averaged across 100 finished maps, and leaving out the 12 the quiz asks you about, Calvert rates highest, then Worcester and Harford. Baltimore, one of the 12 you rate, splits people hardest: only 27% of the people who rated it gave it the same answer. That is the crowd as a whole, and it is not what the quiz returns. Your matches come from the people whose ratings look like yours.

The quiz asks about 12 of them, one at a time: Baltimore, Frederick, Howard, and 9 more. Those 12 are the ones people disagree about most, and no two of them tell the quiz the same thing, which is why 12 answers are enough to place you. Rating all 24 counties is a different page.
Your 12 ratings are compared with the 100 finished Maryland maps people have colored here. The closest of those are used to predict how you would rate the 12 counties you were not asked about, and the 5 highest predictions are your matches. Nothing about rent, jobs, weather, or visas goes into it.
From 2,126 ratings on the Maryland map, left by people answering "Would you live in each county?" one county at a time. Nobody was surveyed and no list was bought in. Your own answers here are not added to those totals, and the quiz needs no account.
Everything you would check before actually moving: rent, jobs, climate, taxes, and how far it is from the people you know. A county rates highly here because people want to live there, which is a different claim from it being right for you. Treat the 5 it returns as a shortlist to research.
Yes, and it needs no account. A Supporter account ranks all 12 counties it can match you with, down to your last match, rather than the top 5.
The ones people disagree about most, which is what makes them worth asking.
