I do not know enough about the methodology used by this website to say that I support its conclusions. (I especially distrust that it’s just a website, and not a peer-reviewed publications). Whatever.
This was put out by ThirdWay, a progressive think tank based in D.C. What they’ve put together is some indices of how possible it is to have a good life in various U.S. urban areas. They ranked 204 metropolitan areas, and came up with some interesting (but not too surprising) “heat maps” of what they call the opportunity index.
Reddish is worse, greenish is better. Not surprisingly, it’s tough for a lot of people to have a good life in California. The Southeast doesn’t look too good either. The Wasatch Front is OK to good. The best parts are the Midwest, parts of the Northeast, the big urban areas in Texas, and few cities in the west: Denver, SLC< and Seattle.
Perhaps some of you will find this useful for planning a relocation.
