Austin, the vibrant Texan city, has made its mark in a prestigious list by Canada-based Resonance Consultancy ranking America’s top 15 best cities.

America’s Best Cities Report

The annual report – titled “America’s Best Cities” – evaluates the primary cities in America with metropolitan populations exceeding 500,000. The assessment is based on various factors that contribute to a city’s appeal, such as place quality, cultural diversity, and economic prosperity. Austin, with a solid ranking at number 15 on the list, shone among the top US cities such as New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles that claimed the top three positions respectively.
