According to survey company Niche.com, Naperville is the Best City to Live in the US.
It should be noted that the ranking was limited to cities with a population of over 100,000 people.
Niche generates the Best Cities to Live rankings by using data from the U.S. Census, FBI, BLS, and CDC combined with millions of resident reviews. The company considers factors such as affordability, the local housing market, neighborhood diversity, area public schools, walkability, and more.
“Choosing where to live is no small task,” said Luke Skurman, CEO and founder of Niche. “For 10 years now, our Best Places to Live rankings have served as a compass for navigating these tough choices. We know that people consider far more than just affordability when deciding where to call home, from neighborhood diversity and weather conditions to career opportunities and the quality of the schools. There’s no one-size-fits-all formula. Our rankings have always aspired to give families, homebuyers, professionals and retirees the data and insights they need to reliably and confidently discover their next place to live.”
Frankly, we are a bit skeptical of the rankings. Not because Naperville isn’t the cat’s meow, but because the hated Ann Arbor, Michigan is 9th on the list. With that kind of company….
Anyway, if you’re so inclined, here’s the list for your consideration.
