Sweet news: Las Vegas made the list of the best cities for trick-or-treating on Halloween, and it’s not just because of candy.

Real estate website Zillow ranked Las Vegas 19th nationwide in its sixth annual Trick-or-Treat Index.

According to the website, the “index represents cities that will provide the most candy, in the least amount of time, with the fewest safety risks.”

Zillow said the scores were calculated using four equally weighted criteria: crime, home value, population density and walk score, a metric that measures walkability in a neighborhood.

It’s Las Vegas’ first appearance in the top-20. San Francisco was first, followed by Los Angeles and Chicago.
