\"\"Music City\u00a0was just ranked among the\u00a0top 20 best places to live\u00a0in America, according to the 2017 U.S. News & World Report<\/a>. This year, our official rank was #13, nine spots\u00a0higher than our 2016 ranking.<\/p>\n

We beat out Charlotte at #14, San Francisco\u00a0at #16, Houston at #20, Charleston at #27, Tampa at #35, and Atlanta at #50.<\/p>\n

The publication analysed the top\u00a0100 most populous cities in\u00a0America, by comparing each one\u2019s quality of life, value, job market, desirability and net migration. This year, Nashville\u00a0achieved an\u00a0overall score of 7.1 out of 10 (the #1 city on the list, Austin, TX\u00a0only scored\u00a0a 7.8).<\/p>\n

The came to the total score for each city by weighting each category as follows:<\/p>\n

Job Market Index \u2013 20 percent
\nValue Index \u2013 25 percent
\nQuality of Life Index \u2013 30 percent
\nDesirability Index \u2013 15 percent
\nNet Migration \u2013 10 percent<\/p>\n

The report comments<\/a> that, \u201cNashville is famous for the Grand Ole Opry, the Mother Church of Country Music and twangy honky-tonks, but music is just a byproduct of the larger city culture. Music City is home to a community fiercely driven by a desire to create.<\/p>\n

Ask people what they do and it’s likely they live in the area to help build something new like a health care information technology startup, an indie progressive rock band or a festival that celebrates all things tomatoes.”<\/p>\n
