As a strong-mayor city, Boston's mayor will receive a full performance score — city outcome trends vs. peer cities in the same population tier — once those metrics clear verification.
City outcome data (unemployment, crime, cost of living and more) is in the verification pipeline. We publish numbers only after they clear it. Methodology
