In case you still weren’t convinced, Austin, Texas, has been named the best place to live in America for the third year in a row by U.S. News and World Report.
The publication ranked the 125 largest metropolitan areas and found that life’s good in Austin.
The city has maintained its No. 1 spot on the list since it knocked Denver into second place in 2017.
U.S. News and World Report considered five main indexes (and graded them on a 10-point scale) in compiling the list: desirability, value, job market, quality of life and net migration. Unsurprisingly, Austin ranked a high 9 for desirability and net migration, but a lower 6.7 on value, which measures affordability and incomes.
Overall, Austin received a score of 7.6.
