Overview of the Study
- Defining Key Metrics: The study began by selecting metrics that matter most to hot tub lovers. These metrics were categorized into four groups: Access, Utilities Cost, Demand, and Extreme Cold.

- Gathering Data: For each of the 500 largest U.S. cities, data was collected for these metrics from various sources, including government and commercial databases.
- Scoring and Ranking: Cities were scored on a 100-point scale for each metric. The overall ranking of a city was determined by averaging its scores across all metrics.

Key Insights from the Study
- Preference for Colder Climates: The study found a trend of colder cities, like those in Colorado, being more favorable for hot tub lovers.
- Climate Diversity in Rankings: Despite the trend towards colder climates, cities with diverse climates, including desert locations, also ranked well.
- Importance of Local Access: Proximity to hot tub dealers and service providers was a significant factor, helping to reduce costs related to shipping.
- Utility Costs Consideration: The study noted that in top-ranked cities, utility costs for maintaining a hot tub could be higher, especially in winter.
- Variability in City Rankings: Cities in Texas and California, particularly remote or suburban ones, ranked lower due to lesser demand and availability of hot tub facilities.
Additional Observations
- Hot Tub Costs: The study also touches on the financial aspect of owning a hot tub, with prices varying significantly based on the model and features.
- Consideration of Additional Expenses: It’s essential to factor in costs like taxes, shipping, and installation when planning a hot tub purchase.
