There are plenty of lists found in various media sources these days comparing and contrasting the quality of life within various communities in America, but the one that brings the most attention is Money Magazine’s annual “Best Places To Live In America.”  Fishers was rated Number 3 in the nation on this year’s list.

Fishers was the only place in Indiana to crack the Top 10 list.

Here’s how Money Magazine explained their methodology in compiling this year’s listing.

“…the list was compiled using data points such as economic health, cost of living, ethnic and economic diversity, public education, income, health and safety, ease of living and amenities. The greatest weight was given to economic factors, housing, health and safety, diversity, and cost of living. Other critical components included quality of life, education, and local amenities. Residents in the top-ranking locations were also interviewed.”

“I’m incredibly proud that our city has once again been recognized as one of the best places to live in the nation,” said Mayor Scott Fadness in a city news release. “This honor is truly a reflection of the residents, businesses, schools, and organizations that make Fishers the smart, vibrant, and entrepreneurial city that it is. I’m so privileged to serve this community.

Other Indiana communities in the Top 10 list include Eagle Creek and Fort Wayne.
