The personal finance website determined its results by analyzing the 150 largest U.S. cities using 40 metrics across four major categories: affordability, activities, quality of life and health care.
While Orlando and Tampa took first and second place, respectively, Atlanta wasn’t too far behind at No. 5.
It came out on top thanks to its high activities ranking. It was No. 8 on that list. It even tied with New York, San Francisco, Washington D.C. and St. Louis for most museums per capita.
Other Georgia cities didn’t fare as well. Augusta fell to the bottom of the pack at No. 75 and so did Columbus at No. 122.
