To compile the list they focused in on the following five categories:

• Cultural
• Socioeconomic
• Economic
• Household
• Religious

For a city of our size to rank so highly on a list like this is really something extraordinary, especially considering the other cities in the top 10 like; New York, NY (#3), Los Angeles, CA (#5) and Houston, TX (#1).

There were some other CT cities that also showed up near the top of the list:

• Stamford, CT (#16)
• Norwalk, CT (#21)
• Bridgeport, CT (#23)

Diversity is an important metric and one that benefits all of the people in that community. Diversity breeds new ideas formed from varying life experiences.

I am a proud resident of Danbury, CT and happy to see us rank so highly on yet another national study. Danbury, number 10 in diversity, number 1 in your heart. I feel so much more positive about things since Bennigan's was torn down. That has nothing to do with diversity, it just feels good.
