Being named a Top 100 Place to Live is a big deal. It fuels economic development and improves quality of life. It fosters community pride and creates opportunities for marketing tourism, relocation, business and industry. Of the 100 U.S. cities named to RelocateAmerica’s list for 2011, there are 10 that have won the American Idol for communities in that they were named a Top 10 Place to Live.
They are:
- Austin, TX
- Grand Rapids, MI
- Boulder, CO
- Raleigh, NC
- Dallas, TX
- Greenville, SC
- Augusta, GA
- Boise, ID
- Omaha, NE
- Oklahoma City, OK
RelocateAmerica’s research team compiled the list after evaluating extensive data on the factors most important in a community: real estate and housing, economic health, recreation, and safety. But, it wasn’t all a numbers game. Just as important, and perhaps even more so, was the input provided by local residents, business and community leaders. There’s nothing that says community pride quite like a resident (or many of them) delivering a list of all the things that make their community special.
