Perfect town rating?

[SaffronJoy]

I have like 15 PwP and yet every time I ask Isabelle, she says my town needs more development! Any idea on what I'm doing wrong?

I got perfect town rating when i had around 10 pwp's ..not sure though what will help..but i planted a lot of trees and flowers anywhere i could and later on enacted the beautiful town ordinance...

Tree's, flowers and items left on the ground all affect the town rating. Do you have plenty of flowers and trees? A few items on the ground is ok (I have a few and have never lost my perfect town rating), wrapped gifts and certain things like individual fruits I believe don't count. You could check you haven't left items on the ground but if you're being told you need more development it might be the tree count or flowers affecting it.

Types of PWPs matter as well. Here's a pretty thorough guide:



The rating depends on three general areas:
1) cleanliness
2) abundant nature
3) abundant living

"Cleanliness" means:
1) less than 10 weeds (-1 point for each above ten)
2) less than 10 items on the ground (counting perfect fruit, but not counting
seashells, regular fruit, flowers, mushrooms, or the "usual" buried items
(fossils, gyroids, Pitfall Seeds)) (-1 point for each above 10)
3) no garbage (Empty Can, Boot, Old Tire, Spoiled Turnips) (-3 points for each)
4) no Rafflesia (-30 points)


"Abundant nature" means:
1) appropriate number of trees (not counting shrubs (newly planted saplings and
bamboo don't count); "dead" trees (perfect fruit trees that have lost their
leaves) DO count) (-1 point for each less than 110) (-1 point for each above
200)
2) many flowers (not counting wilting) (+1 point for 51 to 75) (+25 points if
more than 75)
3) high Nature Points from built Public Works

This information was taken from a guide found here.

This actually explains a lot as to why I had a hard time getting my status back after some renovations...

 

[SaffronJoy]

Well I guess I just need to wait for villagers to suggest better projects then!

You need over 75 flowers, between 110-200 trees and less than ten Items on the ground. I think the Pwps are fine.
