What best means here
On this site, best should mean strongest imported index growth for a selected window, such as year-over-year or 5-year growth.
It does not mean best place to buy, safest market, highest future return, or best neighborhood for every household.
Use rankings with context
A fast-appreciating region may also have affordability pressure, volatility, or supply constraints.
