According to a study on wallethub.com, 31% of Americans prefer to live in the suburbs. I will admit that every once in a while, Mindy and I enjoy the bright lights of New York City, and if I were independently wealthy, I would rent a small studio apartment in the big city just to visit.
The finance website WalletHub just published an article titled "Best Small Cities in America (2023). They compared 1,321 cities across five key dimensions: 1) Affordability, 2) Economic Health, 3) Education and Health, 4) Quality of Life and 5) Safety.
