Pennsylvania-relative analysis
Among the 1,861 Pennsylvania cities PlainCities tracks with reported bachelor's degree or higher data, Arnot ranks #1,600 - the 14th percentile within the state. This is a different, narrower cut than the nationwide percentiles above: it compares Arnot only against its own state's cities, not the full US field.
Ranked by raw value (highest first); a higher rank is not automatically "better" for every measure, see each metric's own context above. This is a comparison within Pennsylvania only, not a livability score. See the methodology for the source and calculation.
