Have you ever considered moving to Boise, Idaho by any chance? It may not have been on your radar, but you might want to consider it – at least based on these rankings from Livability.
Of course, all studies about “best places to live” and “livability” are at least somewhat subjective, but the website calculated its scores by studying 8 categories: amenities, demographics, education, economy, health care, housing, social and civic capital, and transportation and infrastructure.
The study also took affordability into account and instituted a cap on the median home value. As a result, no city on the list has a median home value above $250,000 (I’m looking at you San Francisco and Seattle).
Here are the top 20 places to live according to the report. You can see all top 100 cities by visiting the Livability website.
