WalletHub loves putting together lists. This time they ranked the best cities for Halloween by comparing things like trick-or-treater friendliness, Halloween fun, and weather. Then, they broke those three categories down even further. In all, there are 22 key points ranging from costume stores per capita to average price per Halloween party ticket to share of potential trick-or-treat stops.

Mostly, big cities sit at the top of the list with California cities dominating the top ten.

1. New York, NY
2. San Francisco, CA
3. Miami, FL
4. Los Angeles, CA
5. San Diego, CA
6. San Jose, CA
7. Jersey City, NJ
8. Las Vegas, NV
9. Santa Ana, CA
10. Boston, MA

Sacramento slides in at #18. Although, we ranked #1 in the weather category. As of this moment, the forecast for Halloween is in the mid 70’s and partly cloudy. Perfect.
