This year, Austin keeps making it on best-of lists. This year, we have already been named the 8th best city to live in, one of the best cities for entrepreneurs and the best bargain in the country. Now, Austin holds yet another another title! We have been named the fourth best place in the country to live by Outside magazine.
The magazine evaluated the 100 most populated cities in the country. The analyzed data such as unemployment, commute time, cost of living, green space, and even the nightlife.
Once they narrowed it down to 28 cities, they began to compare factors such as weather, home prices, and college degrees. They also included a multisport factor, which judged the cities' nearness and quality of facilities for hiking, biking, running, paddling, and skiing.
According to the press release, "This young, remarkably active city is affordable and sustainable -- why wouldn't you want to call Austin home? Wilderness in the heart of downtown, an astounding 900 miles of bike lanes and paths by 2020, a music scene that lives up to the hype! The accolades keep pouring in."
