Another day, another good ranking for Pittsburgh. And at least this one won't be disputed by locals because it is common knowledge.
Pittsburgh ranked sixth among 50 "large" metro areas (population over 1.25 million) in a ranking of the "2007 Best Cities for Relocating Families", published by Worldwide ERC and Primacy Relocation.
The five "big" cities that finished ahead of Pittsburgh on the list were all actually smaller than Pittsburgh: 1. Fort Worth-Arlington, TX; 2. Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro, TN; 3. Kansas City, MO-KS; 4. Indianapolis-Carmel, IN; 5. Austin-Round Rock, TX.
In my opinion, a "big" city is one that has at least 2 million in the metro area. None of these is that big (KC is close). So in my opinion, Pittsburgh really ranked #1 among big cities!
Interesting to see where cities supposedly "similar" to Pittsburgh ranked: #14 Detroit, #22 Cleveland.
The Bottom Five: 50. Miami; 49. NYC/NJ; 48. Chicago; 47. Fort Lauderdale; 46. Philadelphia.
