« Nashville Economy Shows More Signs of Growth | Main | Paved With Gold? » May 24, 2004The Best Place To LiveThe American City Business Journals chain has put together a list of the best places to live, based on 20 quality-of-life factors. I am fortunate to live in the highest-ranking community in Tennessee, Williamson County, which is 22nd on the ACBJ list. You can see the entire list in an Excel file here. For comparison, the next highest-ranking Tennessee counties for quality of life were Knox County, ranked #373, and Nashville-Davidson County, ranked #417. Shelby County (Memphis) ranked #1046 - hard data showing what most Tennesseans already know, if only subconsciously: Nashville is the best place to live in Tennessee - and its suburb of Williamson County is even better. Survey methodology here. Discuss amongst yourselves. Posted in Nashville

What a wonky compilation! I live in Texas and I checked out the top choices in my state. I hadn't even heard of most of them and I've lived here all my life. Two I knew well were Galveston and Kenedy. Galveston is rife with prostitution and drug use, a tawdry, worn-down shell of it's former glory, and Kenedy--close to where I grew up--is in the middle of nowhere. No movies, few restaurants, a good place to move away from when you graduate from high school. How queer. Posted by: B. K.

Not even you can spin hard data that way, Bill...;) Posted by: Barry at May 25, 2004 08:20 AMYeah, but I'm trying really hard... Fact is, I love the Nashville area, and love Williamson County, but my fondest wish would be to relocate to the county ranked fourth overall. Posted by: Bill Hobbs at May 25, 2004 09:08 AMBill, I am sitting at my desk at my workplace, in the fourth-ranked overall county in the US. I will soon be moving to it myself (I have a nasty commute to get to this place!) Come to Douglas County, Bill. The water's fine. Posted by: Brad S at May 25, 2004 10:05 AMThere's a reason we who are forced to live in Memphis call it West Mogadishu. I find it hard to believe that anywhere is worse than this place. Best job I've ever had. Worst place I've ever had to live (and I spent time in Kansas!). Posted by: AlphaPatriot at May 25, 2004 05:45 PMWhy is Franklin, TN so far down on the list when Williamson County is so far up? Posted by: CS at May 25, 2004 06:37 PMDuh. Franklin County, TN. Not Franklin, TN. Well, in comparing only areas with greater than 100,000 population, TN is at the national average for college graduates. Posted by: cs at May 25, 2004 07:32 PMPost a comment
