CALIFORNIA BUSINESS MINUTE
Ranking Cities
06-04-08
Hi, I am Tim Johnson and welcome to the California Business Minute.
Its that time of year as organizations release their rankings of cities and states.
Recently three entities have released their rankings for the best/worst places to
live in the nation. Forbes, Kiplingers and Relocation America have provided their
rankings. While there are some cities that appear in their lists from Kiplingers and
Relocation Americas, the top ten could not be more divergent. For example, in the
case of Relocation Americas rankings, there is not one city from California in the top
ten, but Sacramento is ranked number 8 by Kiplinger.
Of greater interest related to the divergence illustrated in the rankings is that in Relocation
Americas top ten best places in the nation ranks Charlotte, North Carolina as number one.
However, Charlotte is ranked number 9 in the top ten most miserable places in the nation
by Forbes. You be the judge.
Relocation America Kiplingers Forbes
Charlotte Houston Detroit
San Antonio Raleigh Stockton
Chattanooga Omaha Flint
Greenville, SC Boise New York
Tulsa Colorado Springs Philadelphia
Stevens Point, WI Austin Chicago
Asheville Fayetteville, AK Los Angeles
Albuquerque Sacramento Modesto
Huntsville Des Moines Charlotte
Seattle Provo Providence
