Minneapolis finally met a national survey that it doesn’t like it.Despite topping myriad “best-city-for _____” lists, Minneapolis lands near the bottom of a list of cities ranked by popularity as a place to live.
Only 16 percent of respondents to a survey by the Pew Research Center’s Social & Demographic Trends project said they’d like to live in the City of Lakes or its surrounding metro area. Only Kansas City, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Detroit ranked lower in the study.
Denver topped the list of 30 cities, with 43 percent of respondents saying they’d like to live there. San Diego, Seattle, Orlando, and Tampa, Fla., rounded out the top five.
Pew found that 46 percent of those surveyed would rather live somewhere else other than Minneapolis. Apparently our frigid temperatures played a part in our city being shunned. Most respondents surveyed preferred a warmer climate over our frigid temperatures.
Pew’s report is based on a telephone survey of a nationally representative sample of 2,260 adults, conducted Oct. 3-19. Source Minneapolis Saint Paul Business Journal.
