Turning their “focus to the heart of American life,” Livability put out a list of the “50 Best Small Cities in the U.S.”
Livability’s “LivScore” is comprised of a city’s amenities, economy, education opportunities, environment, health, housing and cost of living, safety and transportation access.
Oak Park lands No. 48 on the list after Livability considered those factors.
The Midwest was represented well in the rankings, with 19 cities on the list.
One other city in Illinois made the cut. Downers Grove came in at No. 17, according to Livability.
The state with the most cities included? Alabama.
In order to be considered, a city had to have homes with a median value of $550,000 or less and a population between 15,000 and 75,000 people.
