Thanks to Instacart, the scare score is back! Ever want to know how your town stacks up against others when it comes to Halloween candy, costumes, and decorations? Well, now you can find out!
The scare score is calculated by to determine which zip codes were the “halloween-iest,” Instacart used purchase data from last October.
The tool calculates how much of the following was purchased per zip code:
Ounces of candy per person
Costume items per person
Decor items per person
This data helps create an initial score out of 100. Instacart also provides a candy index, costume index, and decor index score.
