Factors used in the study included median household income, average commute time, median house worth, and families below the poverty line, among other data points.  Of course, this data isn\u2019t new information to Stapleton residents or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.npreco.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">real estate agents<\/a>.  \u201cAside from just living here and knowing how great it is, houses don\u2019t stay on the market very long,\u201d says resident Nicole Lance.  \u201cAnd usually the people moving, simply move to another Stapleton house.\u201d\n<!--more-->\nOther residents agree.  \u201cOf course, we get teased a lot,\u201d says Angela Fisher.  \u201cBut the truth is, everyone secretly wants to live here.\u201d  Many people think that the ranking could have been higher had other factors come into play.  \u201cI mean, how were elementary schools not considered?\u201d asks Jeremy Miller.  \u201cThat is an extremely important part of a community, and we have the best elementary schools.  Not to mention <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/26th-ave-park-to-have-play-area-for-bad-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">park space<\/a>.  We have great <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/pocket-park-rules-simplified\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">park space<\/a> as well.\u201d\nOther things not included were crime statistics, fitness and health, and <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/stapletonion-creating-top-mom-in-stapleton-bracket-challenge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hotness of moms<\/a>.  \u201cClearly, had mom hotness been included as it should have, Stapleton would have been number one overall,\u201d states Blake Potter.  \u201cIt is such an important factor, and should always be included in these \u2018best of\u2019 statistics.\u201d  As it is, 80238 was ranked 252 out of 28,061 ZIP codes (out of roughly 43,000 US ZIP codes), putting Stapleton in the top 1%.  \u201cThat\u2019s pretty good, but obviously, there is room for improvement,\u201d says Ellen Jay.  \u201cI know Stapleton people, and we will do what it takes to be number one.\u201d\nBefore everyone gets too excited about making corrections to the fine Stapleton community, understand that these types of rankings are not perfect.  So imperfect, in fact, the following cities were in the top ten:  Houston, TX (#3), Wichita, KS (#9), and Kansas City, MO (#10).  A recent poll in Houston shows that 97% of people living in Houston would prefer to live anywhere else.  There was a 3% margin of error.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[155],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-5221","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-92","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5221"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5221\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
