Coming Tuesday: New England’s Top Cities Ranking
Monday, April 02, 2012
Inspired by national rankings from media outlets such as US News & World Report, Forbes, and Business Week, GoLocal's evaluation compares each state's five largest cities, from Bangor, ME to Boston, MA, in five general areas: Economics/Prosperity, Safety, Culture, Health, and Overall Quality of Life. With metrics ranging from median household income, unemployment, school quality and crime rates to arts-related employment, wifi hotspots and walkability among others, the GoLocal propietary formula quantifies the many qualities that go into a city's fabric. Tuesday's ranking will name New England's Best City for 2012, profile the region's Top 10 cities, and reveal the entire ranking list, from #1 to #30. You may be surprised at what cities emerge as tops in the region, and which ones fall to the bottom of the list.
GoLocal's team of eight researchers and analysts spent two months developing the formula, as well as gathering and crunching the data. It provides a fresh glimpse at life in New England. The first of its kind. Come back tomorrow to see what the numbers say.
