“Resonance once again analyzed the principal cities of U.S.
metropolitan statistical areas with populations of more than
500,000,” says Resonance President & CEO Chris Fair. “Our goal
in producing these reports is to create the most comprehensive and
holistic approach to measuring and benchmarking both perception and
performance of cities available.”
This year’s rankings are more revelatory than ever, powered by
Resonance’s new partnership with Ipsos to incorporate
perception-based data for the first time—the results of which also
demonstrate that Americans still very much aspire to live, visit
and work in the country’s largest cities.
The overall America’s Best Cities rankings are determined by
analyzing this public perception, combined with a wide range of
factors that have demonstrated moderate-to-strong correlations with
attracting prime age population (age 25 – 44), visitor expenditure,
and/or business formation.
“The phrase ‘perception is reality’ is often used when
developing reputation management strategies for companies, but the
same holds true for destinations,” says Jason McGrath, Executive
Vice President at Ipsos. “By merging the top-of-mind
destinations where people tell us they want to live, work and
visit, with the rigorous evaluation of place that Resonance has
been conducting for nearly a decade, we have created a more
comprehensive evaluation of cities and can better advise
destinations on how to strengthen their reputation.”
Based on each city’s performance for livability,
lovability, and prosperity, these are
