I’m happy to live in RH and work in M, but of course these ratings are complete rubbish.
Im outraged about this too.
I had to look at a map of Richmond Heights. More of it borders #7 Clayton and #8 Brentwood than #767 Maplewood. Also it is in at least two school districts. Will keep my eyes open for what makes RH so great. Congrats on the recognition.
With so much shared with RH it does not seem possible Maplewood is #767, just south of #4 and right next to #8. Go figure. Can anyone explain this?
The #22 is Maplewood’s rank among St Louis suburbs. At least according to Niche.
Maplewood is not number 22. You forgot to mention Clayton made number 7. We have 3 out of the top 10 which is pretty damn good though.
I’m not sure why he didn’t mention Clayton, but congratulations!
Also, at least at the link posted in the article above, it looks like Maplewood made #767.

Better ask Brentwood City Admin Bola Akande if you have permission to live there first before you make any plans…she runs the City with a machete and a dark heart.
Joe Black what proof do you have to back up a statement like that?
