Kids in Philadelphia who come home with pillowcases stuffed with candy on Halloween probably have no idea how lucky they are. Philly is the best city in the country for trick-or-treaters—and possibly dentists, too—according to the eighth annual Zillow Trick-or-Treat Index, per Parade. The index ranks cities based on things like median home value (pricier homes equal better candy), high home density (more candy faster), and crime rates ('cause nobody wants their candy stolen). Here are the top 10:

  1. Philadelphia
  2. San Jose
  3. San Francisco
  4. Milwaukee
  5. Los Angeles
  6. Phoenix
  7. Denver
  8. Portland
  9. Seattle
  10. Columbus
