In {{PG}}, the town's status is determined by the number of trees, weeds, flowers, and garbage in each acre of the town. There are 7 different ranks of quality determined by a simple hidden points system. Each acre has its own point value and these points are added to determine the town's overall rating. The rating can be determined by interacting with the [[wishing well]]. This rating affects the chance that a fish or insect will spawn in an acre, the rate that balloon presents spawn, the chance that new villagers move in, and the frequency at which special visitors come to town.

In {{PG}}, the town's status is determined by the number of trees, weeds, flowers, and garbage in each acre of the town. There are 7 different ranks of quality determined by a simple hidden points system. Each acre has its own point value and these points are added to determine the town's overall rating. The rating can be determined by interacting with the [[wishing well]]. This rating affects the chance that a fish or insect will spawn in an acre, the rate that balloon presents spawn, and the chance that new villagers move in before reaching the limit of 15.
  
 
For fish and insects, the chance that a fish appears and the chance that an insect appears are calculated separately when the player enters an acre. Only one fish and one insect can be spawned from an acre at a time. At the lowest town rating, the chance for them to spawn is 50% and at rank 3 or higher, the chance is 100%. Below is a table that shows the points required for each rank, what the wishing well says at each rank, and the chance that a fish or a bug will spawn under that rank.

Below is a table that shows the points required for each rank, what the wishing well says at each rank, and the chance that a fish or a bug will spawn under that rank.
 
For villager move-ins, it is assumed that the town has less than 15 villagers currently living there, each villager currently living there has been spoken to by the player, and it has been at least 24 in-game hours since the last time a villager moved in when the game was loaded. Under these conditions, at rank 0, the chance of a villager moving in when the game is loaded (even within the same day) is 40% and the chance goes up 10% per rank until reaching 100% chance at perfect town status.

Each acre's points are calculated based on the number of trees or tree saplings planted within the acre. Wilted saplings count as well. Acres must have between 9 and 17 trees or saplings to receive points. If any required acre has an amount of trees or saplings outside of this range, the wishing well will tell the player that there is too little green in that acre. Acres that are not required to have trees but will receive points include the wishing well acre, [[train station]] acre, [[player house]] acre, [[lake]] acre, [[museum]] acre, or any [[beach]] acre. The town's points and the wishing well's message are updated immediately upon any changes. Below is a table that shows the points an acre is worth based on the amount of trees or saplings it contains and what the well may say.

====Rare messages====
 
====Rare messages====
The following messages are nearly impossible to get. This is because the wishing well always opts to tell the player where there are too few trees instead of rating the town and if there are enough trees in every acre, the town must be rank 4, 5, or 6 at that point. When receiving one of these messages, checking in the town status again defaults back to telling the player about where there are too few trees.

In {{NL}}, a points system is used instead, which is divided into three hidden categories. [[Public works project]]s are necessary for a positive rating, and the requirement for a specific number of trees/flowers in each acre no longer applies. Obtaining perfect town status can be achieved by building more public works projects (with the exception of building the trash bin and tire toy) and keeping the town clean of weeds and/or trash. The latter can be remedied with the [[Ordinance|Keep <Town> Beautiful]] ordinance or by asking [[Leif]] to clean their town from weeds.

Advice to get a perfect town is given by various special characters in the game, relayed through [[Isabelle]] when speaking to her at the [[Town Hall]]. Each quote designates what the quality of the town is.

[[File:NH Joan Mention.jpg|thumb|250px|Isabelle relaying a quote from a resident — in this case, implied to come from [[Daisy Mae]].]]
 
 
In {{NH}}, the player's island is rated on a five-star system, based on two main factors: development points and scenery points. The island's rating can be viewed by speaking to Isabelle at [[Resident Services]] only after the 6th villager has moved in and unpacked. Isabelle will also relay a quote from another character about the island and suggest actions the player may take to improve their island rating (for example, placing more outdoor furniture and fences, planting or trimming foliage, moving in villagers, or building more stores). If the rating is five stars, Isabelle will congratulate the player for achieving a perfect score.

The environment rating plays a key role in [[Tom Nook]]'s '''Project K''', in which obtaining a 3-star rating is required for [[K.K. Slider]] to visit the island. The next day after getting a 3-star rating, K.K. Slider will visit and play "[[Welcome Horizons]]" in the [[plaza]]. Afterwards, he begins making his usual weekly visits. A 3-star rating is also required for the player to receive the [[Island Designer Construction Permit]]. Once the island reaches a 5-star rating, Isabelle sends the player the {{I|Golden Watering Can|NH}} DIY recipe via the NookPhone.

==Trivia==
 
*One of the quotes Isabelle restates from [[Wisp]] during the island evaluation is "It's a place I've been quietly watching. It's a secret to everybody. I don't want it to be famous." The "It's a secret to everybody" part is a reference to an identical quote commonly used in the ''The Legend of Zelda'' series.
 
*[[Flick]]'s description of the player's island when giving a 5-star evaluation is a truncated parody of the "this royal throne of kings" monologue from the 1595 {{Wp|William Shakespeare}} play ''{{Wp|Richard II (play)|Richard II}}''.
