Cape Coral is ranked No. 46 on a list of America’s best cities to live.
To form the list, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed data on the 550 areas measured by the U.S. Census Bureau with populations of 65,000 or more. A range of variables were considered, including crime rates, employment growth, educational attainment and housing affordability.
According to a snapshot look at the city:
Strong employment growth between 2011 and 2013 helped drive the unemployment rate down from11.1percent to 6.9 percent during that time.
Payments on a median-priced home in Lee County equaled 16.6 percent of a typical household’s income, less than inmany other parts of the nation.
» Median income of $48,619 is below the national average and incommensurate with its moderately high cost of living.
» Its network of well organized canals are likely its biggest attraction.
Other Florida cities in the top 50: Boca Raton came in at No. 11 and Weston was ranked No. 15.
Newton, Mass., got the top spot on the list.
