Baton Rouge Ranks High in Best Cities for College Graduates

By
Real Estate Agent with Baton Rouge Area Homes

The Daily Beast has just released its annual survey of best US cities for college graduates and Baton Rouge placed 15th on the list!   The rankings are based on affordable rents, inexpensive dining, salaries and employment prospects.

Here are some of Baton Rouge's stats:

- % of population aged 22 - 24 = 6%

- % of housing available to rent = 32%

- Unemployment rate = 8.2%

- Per-capita personal income = $38,107

A key driver in the continued economic success of Baton Rouge will be to have an economy that provides great jobs for growing numbers of local college graduates.  It is also key to future growth that our local economy provides the kind and number of jobs that makes Baton Rouge an attractive relocation prospect.

New Orleans ranked 16th and Shreveport ranked 20th in this report, so Louisiana fared very well in this latest survey.

Very interesting.  I wouldn't have known that Baton Rouge had a stronger viability than other parts of the U.S. as well as the deep cultural routes.  Thanks for the info and good luck.
