My first guess would be thru insurance rating bureaus of the locales.
They used TransUnion data. This is a quote from the Methodology section cited on their website:

"In order to identify the cities with the highest and lowest credit scores, WalletHub’s analysts compared the average credit scores of residents in each of 2,570 U.S. cities as of September 2015, based on TransUnion data. A rank of “1” corresponds with the city with the highest credit score. With regard to our sample, please note that “city” refers to city proper and excludes surrounding metro areas."
