They used equality as their measure there... So there's that.

How is either city in the top 182 based on population? Also who chose 182 as a random number?

Didn't it also make a list of the top most expensive places to live a few days ago?

“For the ranking, WalletHub analyzed 182 of the largest cities in the U.S., including the top 150 most populated U.S. cities and at least two of the most populated cities in each U.S. state.”

I saw highest property tax rates on here, if that's what you are referring to. I'm sure if you have enough money, quality of life in Burlington and SB is high, for now.

Yep, it did, for property taxes. Most of the places on this list are HCOL, high tax interestingly. The methodology is pretty armchair and unscientific. Just interesting.

Having lived in both cities, I would agree. Although I'm happier in Burlington than I was in South Burlington. Sometimes I miss being able to walk to my gym though.
