Welcome to the Villager Popularity Guide for Animal Crossing New Horizons! Ask any questions you may have and we will do our best to answer them!

This list has been compiled from multiple sources, such as TBT, Reddit, and Facebook Animal Crossing groups for a broader perspective. All data was worked on by Pandoria, Mairen, and bloobelle on TBT. The graphic was made by shootingxtar (below).

Do not think that you have to follow the price structure or range, this is just a guide to help you get the feel for what you should be using/offering for a specific villager. When trading, it is ultimately up to the person selling or buying, and the prices might not be reflected.

The five tiers will have villagers in order of popularity, most popular starting left, and moving right + descending means lower popularity. Tier 5 will start with the villagers with at least some votes, and Tier 6 means 0 votes.

Hello everyone! I am very honored to have been able to work on this huge project that took many days! I hope everyone will find all of our hard work useful! I wanted to first thank each and every one of you who took the time to vote. You guys allowed us to make this possible. After about 6 hours of tallying votes, I felt a certain connection to all of you (along with total brain melt...there were well over a thousand votes to sort through!). I thought it was so interesting to see the different groups of 10 villagers you each chose as your favorites. Everyone had such a variety in who they liked!

One thing that I found very sweet was that there's at least one person out there who loves each villager. Keep that in mind when trading villagers starts to pick up around here. You never know if someone is around who would absolutely LOVE to adopt the villager you are moving out, even if they are the lowest tier. Love to all villagers all around!

oh, and a special hug to the TWO other people who put Boone in their top 10. That guy is totally awesome, even if we'll never see him in a high tier place. Love for Boone ^-^

gonna keep an eye on this - thanks for taking the time to make this!

 

[LethalLulu]

This is going to be so helpful with all my mystery island hops

 

[Kurashiki]

super interesting to see how the popularity of different villagers has shifted since new leaf! thanks for working so hard on this!

 

[carackobama]

thank you for this!

 

[Winona]

I mostly got villagers from the first three categories by sheer luck up until now. O: Thanks a lot for this overview!

 

[GalacticGhost]

All of my current villagers are tier 5/6 lol. But that's okay, because even if not that many people like them, at least I like Stu, Norma and Pompom Paula and Mac, who were my starters, are meh IMO though.

 

[skogkyst]

Excellent! I'm really excited to see this evolve over time. I'm surprised Fauna is so high, even though she is one of my favorites.

 

[Mairen]

All of my current villagers are tier 5/6 lol. But that's okay, because even if not that many people like them, at least I like Stu, Norma and Pompom Paula and Mac, who were my starters, are meh IMO though.

don't feel bad, a lot of my favorites are actually in tiers 5 and 6! That's what makes this community so fun: everyone has their own personal favorites. Not one person out of the almost 150 I tallied liked exactly the same 10.

 

[Momonoki]

Thank you for your hard work!

 

[Mercedes]

1 tbt =10k
100 tbt =1 mill

 

[jozial]

I'm glad no one likes Gayle, I can get her for cheap lol

 

[HappyTails]

You shouldn't feel bad. All the villagers are special in their own way. A tier 1 villager isn't any better than a tier 6 villagers. It's just that tier 1 villagers are more popular and sought after but, not by no means, are they better. All the villagers I have are lower tiered too but I love my villagers and they're all precious to me. You shouldn't let a list make you feel like your villagers aren't special just because they aren't top tiered.


Edit: My favorite villager is tier 5.
Tutu, I will be getting you soon, maybe. XD

edit: fixed

 

[0orchid]

Ah I have 3 villagers in tier 4 and 2 villagers in tier 5 right now Funny because I like Dora way more than Plucky but Plucky is a tier above her. Some of the other rankings on this list surprised too. Thanks for your hard work on the list!

 

[debinoresu]

the 200 tbt seems like such an under estimation for tier 1s lately from personal experience, i saw a zucker auction alone go for 400 tbt and paid 1k tbt for judy (though shes a special case.) i think the amiibo kick glitch has inflated villager prices a bit in auctions.

that aside, its fun to see the new list! im gonna share it w my friends and see how they feel.

That's why we put 200+! Because the amiibo ones are super common, but we've seen like 1000 TBT for the new villagers such as Audie and Raymond. 200 is just the baseline for the amiibo ones, and again this is up to interpretation
