America’s Top-Rated Cities provides current, comprehensive statistical information and other essential data in one easy-to-use source on the top 100 cities that have been cited as the best for business and living in the United States.
This new edition has been completely updated with new cities, new rankings, and many new statistical topics. Each volume covers a different region of the country - Southern, Western, Central, and Eastern - and includes a detailed Table of Contents, City Chapters, Appendices, and Maps.
Each city chapter incorporates information from hundreds of resources to create the following major sections:
- Background: Lively narrative of significant, up-to-date news for both businesses and residents. These combine historical facts with current developments, “known-for” annual events, and climate data.
- Rankings: Fun-to-read, bulleted survey results from over 250 books, magazines, and online articles, ranging from general (Great Places to Live), to specific (Friendliest Cities), and everything in between.
- Statistical Tables: 127 tables and detailed topics that offer an unparalleled view of each city’s Business and Living Environments. They are carefully organized with data that is easy to read and understand. Statistical data covers cost of living, finances, taxes, population, commercial real estate, education, major employers, media, crime, climate, housing vacancies, tax audits, bankruptcy, presidential election results and more.
- Appendices: Chambers of Commerce, State Departments of Labor and Employment, Historical Metropolitan Area Definitions and Current Metropolitan Area Definitions
The rankings are presented in an easy-to-read, bulleted format and include results from both annual surveys and one-shot studies.
