Flower Mound, TX just ranked #1 most livable small-to-mid-sized city in the Southwest 🏆 — beating much bigger, flashier cities.
So how did a suburb of ~75,000 people pull that off? And does this ranking actually apply to you? Let’s keep it simple 👇
📊 What This Ranking Measures
According to Livability.com, cities are scored using 100+ data points, including:
- 🛡️ Safety
- 🏡 Housing & cost of living
- 📚 Education
- 💼 Economy
- 🌿 Health & environment
Data sources include the
U.S. Census Bureau and
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Only cities with
75K–500K residents and
~$500K median home prices qualify — which removes major metros like
Dallas.
