Right now the Boston location has the highest Goods Score (90 out of 100). The score reflects how affluent the surrounding neighborhoods are, which is a strong proxy for donation quality, and it refreshes as Census and store data update.
Each store gets a 0 to 100 Goods Score built from four U.S. Census measures of the area within about three miles: median home value, household income, share of college graduates, and median rent. Stores with wealthier surrounding neighborhoods score higher.
