In "America's Best Places to Live," MSN's web site rated metropolitan areas in categories including cost of living, crime rate, education, home prices, and weather. Tucson came in a high honor considering the competition.    

·     #5 Best Place for Outdoor Activities: MSN placed Tucson in its "Close to the Big Outdoors" survey. MSN cited the city's closeness to outdoor activities, coupled with a balance of quality education, housing, jobs, health, and arts and entertainment.

·     #7 Best Cities for Hispanics: For the second year in a row, Tucson placed in the Top Ten Cities for Hispanics to Live In, an annual feature of the national Hispanic magazine. In creating the list, the magazine weighed mainstream issues, including jobs, affordable housing and student-to-teacher ratios. It ranked factors within a city's culture, such as the ease of switching languages from Spanish to English as well as the frequency of encountering other Hispanics during everyday life.

Criteria include crime, mass transit, air quality, and the number of historic sites, museums, parks and gyms each city has.    

·     #10 Healthy Lifestyle: Cooking Light honored Tucson with a top place in its search for the cities in America that best support its philosophy to eat smart, be fit, and live well. The following are a few of the criteria that earned Tucson its high ranking: Farmers' markets, access to gourmet ingredients, highly rated restaurants, percentage of residents in good health, and low percentage of overweight residents.    

·     #10 Spring Training Ballparks: Tucson Electric Park was chosen as one of the Best Spring Training Ballparks by MSN.com. Coming in the top ten, TEP is the spring training site for the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Chicago White Sox.
