RISMEDIA, October 25, 2010—As kids across the country are finalizing their Halloween costumes and counting down the days until October 31, the data geeks and candy lovers at Zillow have been hard at work churning out the second annual Zillow Trick-or-Treat Housing Index. Last year, Zillow released this analysis for five cities (Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston and Chicago).
This Halloween, due to popular demand, we have expanded our analysis to include a national ranking of the 20 best cities to trick-or-treat across the nation.
1. Seattle, WA
2. San Francisco, CA
3. Portland, OR
4. San Jose, CA
5. Denver, CO
6. Sacramento, CA

According to our index, trick-or-treaters in the West stand to bring home the most Halloween loot. Seattle secured the top spot as the best city to trick-or-treat in, followed by San Francisco, Portland, San Jose, and Denver. In total, 11 of the 20 cities named were in the West. The remaining cities were divided evenly across the Midwest, Northeast and South.
