Report: Atlanta #2 On Best Cities List To Millennials

Young adults put Atlanta nearly at the top of the list when it comes to cities offering the most value, according to the recent U.S. Cities Scorecard for Millennials.

The study is not a “Best Cities” list, but a ranking of how the nation’s top metropolitan areas cater to young people concerned about the environment, commute, culture and jobs.

Atlanta ranks #2 for best cities for millennials

To come up with the results, the study partnered with Centiment.co to survey almost 3,000 millennials across 22 major  cities.

When it came to best overall city, Houston was voted #1 followed by Atlanta. Here are  the top five cities chosen best overall:

  • Houston
  • Atlanta
  • Dallas
  • Minneapolis
  • Austin
Other cities take the top spot in key areas, such as Portland (#1 Parks & Green Spaces), Los Angeles (#1 Climate), New York (#1 in Diversity), and Denver (#1 Access to Nature).

A 15+ year Atlanta resident and longtime journalist and content creator, she covers Travel News, Events, Business, Hair Care, and Money with a practical, Atlanta-first lens. Before launching the site, Johnson worked as a substitute teacher in Atlanta Public Schools and later in corporate roles at Home Depot’s Vinings offices. A marketer by training with a degree in business management, she grew frustrated with the fragmented, hard-to-find information about what was actually happening in the city.
