Georgia may have plenty of several small towns and big cities that are a great place to call home, but one has been named among the best cities in the U.S. to live in.
24/7 Wall St. released its list of the 50 best American cities to live in, from towns with smaller populations to large metropolitan areas. Here's how the site determined its rankings:
"Using data from the Census Bureau, the FBI, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 24/7 Wall St. created a weighted index of 22 measures to identify the 50 best U.S. cities to live in. The measures used in the index fall into one of three broad categories: economy, community, and overall quality of life. We considered all places in the U.S. with sufficient data and populations of at least 5,000."
