The more points you have, the better rating you get. To receive the town rating, go to the Town Hall and talk to Isabelle. Then select citizen satisfaction. Isabelle will then sum up the villager's ratings of the village. To rate the town, villagers will say how much they like the town and which aspects they favor. After listening to the rating, Isabelle will tell you what she thinks the villagers want you to work on. The villager's rating will differ every time a goal is met. To get a good rating, you should play often, plant lots of flowers, pull weeds, control the amount of trees, pick up items dropped on the ground and talk to the villagers often.

Isabelle telling the mayor their approval rating

The approval rating is a feature in Animal Crossing: New Leaf that shows how much the residents of the player's town approve of the mayor. A 100% approval rating is required to receive the development permit, which allows the mayor to build public works projects and enact ordinances.
