When it comes to good living, the Mile High City is tops in the land, according to a national survey released today.
Adults picked Denver as the country’s most desirable big city to call home, with San Diego second and Seattle third. At the bottom of the list: Detroit.
The Washington, D.C.-based Pew Research Center polled 2,260 adults in October about where they prefer to put down roots as part of a broader study of Americans’ mobility.
Thirty percent said they preferred small towns, 25 percent liked suburbs, 23 percent chose cities and 21 percent liked the country.
But asked to pick a few cities from a choice of the 30 largest, 43 percent said Denver, 40 percent liked San Diego and 38 percent gave Seattle a nod.
Orlando, Tampa and San Francisco tied for fourth at 34 percent.
Only 8 percent cared for Detroit, 10 percent chose Cleveland, 13 percent favored Cincinnati and 15 percent liked Kansas City, Mo.
Those polled were not asked to give reasons for the preferences.
