Ten Best Metropolitan Areas in the United States

I am very happy to know that according to the latest Places Rated Almanac, San Francisco is the second best metropolitan area in USA following Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as the best. Also I noted that San Jose/Sunnyvale area is in the eighth position followed closely by Boston.

The areas were ranked by their ambience (the cultural offerings in the city), housing, economy, transportation, education, health care, crime, recreation, and climate. Here’s a look at the areas that made the top ten.

1. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
2. San Francisco, California
3. Seattle, Washington
4. Portland, Oregon
5. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
6. Rochester, New York
7. Washington, D.C.
8. San Jose—Sunnyvale, California
9. Boston, Massachusetts
10. Madison, Wisconsin
