Rankings FAQ

How are cities ranked?+

By current-week BPI score, highest to lowest. BPI is a weighted average of fast-food, casual, and gourmet burger prices in each city — same methodology every week.

What does WoW mean?+

Week-over-week change in BPI. Green (down) means burgers got cheaper; red (up) means they got pricier. Flat weeks show a dash.

How often does the leaderboard update?+

Every week. We reprint the national average and reshuffle the city table after the latest collection run clears.

Where can I dig into a single city?+
