CityRating.com: Find the Best Cities in Which to Live

Jack Oceano
If you are looking to relocate within the United States, there is no better resource online than CityRating.com. Whether you are seeking a city with a strong employment outlook or simply searching for a warm, peaceful place to retire, CityRating.com can provide you with all you need to know. Here is why CityRating.com is such a valuable resource for finding the best cities in which to live.

CityRating.com provides comprehensive information on city demographics, weather and climate, career and occupational outlook, cost of living, crime statistics, and school rankings. You can browse CityRating.com's list of the best places in the United States in which to live, or you can enter your destination city's name to learn everything you need to know about it before you make your move.

One of CityRating.com's most valuable features is its Cost of Living Comparison tool. You can enter your current salary, your city and state of origin, and your destination city and state, and CityRating.com will calculate what you need to earn in your destination state to live comparably to the way you are living now. Sometimes you will need to earn more, sometimes less.

You may be surprised. For instance, if you live and work in New York City and earn $100,000, and you plan to move to Orlando, Florida, you will need to earn only $47,745 to live a comparable lifestyle.

Keeping with Orlando, you will discover its average temperatures for each given month and learn that January is the coldest month with an average temperature of 59.7 degrees, which may very well prove more attractive than New York City's average temperature in January of 31.5.

You can go on to research crime statistics for both violent crime and property crime, and compare these statistics to the national average. You can also find out detailed information on your child's prospective school, including how that school ranks nationally.

At CityRating.com, you can also research the occupational outlook for your destination city, and compare it to your state of origin and other possible alternatives. You can learn the relative size of the workforce, the average salary, the comparative growth and the percentage growth.

Finally, you can take a look at each city's demographics. You can learn the total population, the median age, the male-to-female ratio, household information, and racial makeup.

All of these features make CityRating.com such a valuable resource for finding the best cities in which to live.
