For the second year in a row Ann Arbor has been named one of the Top 10 College Towns by Livability.com. To determine the top college towns, Livability identified cities with a high quality of life based on a range of factors from cost of living and walkability to cultural amenities and pollution levels.

To rank the cities, they looked at student-to-resident ratios, educational attainment, college-led community outreach programs and the percentage of 21- to 34-year-olds (to show that people stick around or move in after graduation).

Ann Arbor ranked highly due to the tree-lined streets, independent restaurants and book stores, bars, parks, world-class museums and stimulating atmosphere. Livability also highlighted Ann Arbor’s high concentration of college-educated residents.
