Published on July 20, 2021 Where to live, where to live? That's the mammoth question at the
top of many Americans' minds right now. As people look to sell, look for a change of scenery, and look for places to retire happily in 2021 and beyond, the
U.S. News & World Report's Best Places to Live results help unveil which U.S. locations are truly worth settling down in for the long haul. To help Americans make the most
informed decisions about where to live (and thrive!), U.S. News studied the data of the 150 most populous metro areas in the country, pulling from a variety of sources including the U.S. Census Bureau, the FBI, the U.S. Department of Labor, and its own internal resources. Then it
evaluated and categorized the data for criteria like housing affordability, retiree taxes, desirability, job market strength, and happiness/quality of life
(see the full methodology here). Ranking at the very top of the list as the No 1. best place to live in the U.S. is Boulder, Colo. According to the report's calculations,
Boulder boasts the highest overall score of 7.6, and snagged a score of 8.8 for quality of life. Coming in hot on Boulder's heels are the cities of both Raleigh and Durham, N.C., which tied for second place scores. These southern cities are followed by another, Huntsville, Ala., then Fayetteville, Ark., and
Austin, Texas. Surprised that somewhere in Florida didn't make it into the top five? To be honest, we were slightly taken aback as well. Despite the high volume of Americans flocking to sunny Florida these days (particularly for retirement), the first Florida destination to appear in
this lineup is Naples, coming in at No. 7, followed by Sarasota at No. 9. The 15 Best U.S. Cities to Live in, According to the U.S. News & World Report
Home > Best Places to Live in the US in 2022 For the last nine years, Livability editors and data scientists have combined our great love of cities and data to create our annual ranking of the Top 100 Best Places to Live in America. Every year, the list changes: we conduct exclusive studies and surveys, adjust our algorithm and add new variables and data points. But one thing remains constant: We always start with the data. This year, we examined more than 2,300 cities based on more than 50 data points that are grouped into eight categories, measuring a city’s economic stability, housing, amenities, infrastructure, demographics, social and civic capital and health care. This is how we calculate each city’s LivScore. Livscore Categories
Our Rankings,by the Numbers
Next, we craft the rankings. This year, we started with the age-old question: Why should someone want to live here? Yes, these are all statistically great places to live, but would you actually want to live here? What are the ways in which each of these cities is creating an environment that is accommodating for remote workers? Where can you spend a Saturday afternoon or meet your friends for happy hour after a long day? How is this city different from other places? Since March 2020, more than 42% of the U.S. population has either moved or considered moving. As home prices hit historical highs and inflation continues to rise, it is more important than ever that we create homes in places that are both affordable and functional for a diverse and growing population. Affordability is a core value for Livability, so we look for places that are growing wages and home values while maintaining an affordable cost of living. This year, we focused on mid-sized cities (generally defined as 500,000 population or smaller) that are attracting big waves of young people. We also added more weight to some of our measures of diversity and inclusion in order to reflect what millennials are looking for in the cities they choose to call home. If you want to learn more about how this list came together, please check out our methodology page and ranking criteria. At Livability.com, we are passionate about finding the good and praising it, and each of these cities has something special to offer its residents. If you’re a young person looking for a fresh start, sick of living paycheck to paycheck due to insane rent prices and want to find a community that will welcome you with open arms, this list is for you. These 100 cities are welcoming, affordable and offer the space and opportunity to grow, both professionally and personally. The only thing missing? You.
