According to the publication, “People are drawn to the Texas capital’s music, outdoor spaces and cultural institutions.”

Of the 125 cities included in the ranking, the best place to live was determined by the following five factors: desirability, value, job market, quality of life and net migration. Overall, Austin scored a 7.7 out of 10. Here’s the breakdown: 

Desirability: 8.9
