How We Ranked These Cities

Eligible rows have more than 100,000 residents plus positive population, median-household-income and cost-of-living fields. Ordering is calculated from the category-specific city fields in the OCity database, with city and state used only as deterministic tie-breakers. These are exploratory screening proxies, not direct measurements of individual outcomes, job openings, venues or neighborhood conditions.

  • Database values remain the source of truth; generated prose cannot change rank or displayed statistics.
  • Missing or non-finite scores are excluded instead of being presented as measured results.
  • Rows with equal scores are ordered by city and state for reproducible output.
  • Review data-use notes and OCity research methods.
