U.S. News & World Report: Boise is among the Top 10 Best Places to Live
Boise was singled out by U.S. News & World Report as one of the Top 10 Best Places to Live in America in the June issue. Here’s a slide show of the Top 10 cities and a signature photo from each community.
The U.S. News ranking was based on a methodology that included cities with a population of 100,000 or higher with a relatively low cost of living, low crime, strong economies and lots of fun things to see and do.
“In selecting our Best Places to Live for 2009, U.S. News took a thrift-conscious approach: We looked for affordable communities that have strong economies and plenty of fun things to do,” said writer Luke Mullins. “The cities we selected are as distinct as America itself—ranging from a quaint suburb to a live-music mecca.”
Boise’s top 10 ranking comes on the heels of numerous high marks that the City of Trees has received from prominent national publications. Last year, Forbes ranked Boise as the 2nd best place in the country for business and careers, the fourth straight year that Boise landed in the top five. Forbes also ranked Boise as the 7th best Up and Coming Tech City last year. Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine ranked Boise as the 4th Best Place to Live, Work and Play last year as well.
