They are upfront about their methodologies and offer videos as well as information on hundreds of topics.They are dedicated to helping people enjoy life and strive to make the complex simple. Here are some of the current surveys we found most interesting.

In 2022’s Best & Worst Cities for Recreation, they compared the 100 largest U.S. cities across 47 key indicators of recreation-friendliness, and for each city, examined the accessibility of entertainment and recreational facilities, the quality of parks and the weather. The top five: 1) Las Vegas, NV; 2) Orlando, FL; 3) Cincinnati, OH; 4) Tampa, FL 5) Scottsdale AZ.  See how your city ranks <HERE>

Their study of the Best & Worst Cities for an Active Lifestyle compares the same. cities based on 34 key indicators of an active lifestyle, ranging from the average monthly fitness-club fee to bike score to the share of physically inactive adults — found the top five to be: 1) San Francisco, CA; 2) Chicago, IL; 3) New York, NY; 4) San Diego, CA; 5) Honolulu, HI. See the whole study and methodology <HERE>

And, in their study on the Best Places to Raise a Family, they compared180 U.S. cities based on 46 key metrics (that consider essential family dynamics, such as the cost of housing, the quality of local school and health-care systems, and the opportunities for fun and recreation).The top five: 1) Fremont, CA; 2) Overland Park, KS; 3) Irvine, CA; Plano, TX; 5) Columbia, MD.

With around 8.4% of Americans having moved last year, their report on 2022’s Best States to Live in makes for an interesting read. They compared the 50 states based on 52 key indicators of ‘livability’ (ranging from housing costs and income growth to education rate and quality of hospitals). Massachusetts ranked #1 overall. Surprisingly, New Jersey was a close second. Alaska ranked 49th and Mississippi came in last. See where your state ranked and why <HERE>

And, one we found of particular interest: With test-score gaps between low-poverty and high-poverty school districts increasing by 15% – 20% during the COVID-19 pandemic, they studied 2022’s Most & Least Educated Cities in America, To determine where the most educated Americans are choosing to settle down, they compared the 150 largest U.S. metropolitan statistical areas across 11 key metrics ranging from the share of adults aged 25 and older with a bachelor’s degree or higher to the racial education gap to the quality of the public-school system.
