2018 Livability.com announced their annual listing, which ranks Beaverton at number three.
“It’s wonderful and rewarding to receive this kind of recognition and continually see Beaverton at the top of national rankings,” said Mayor Denny Doyle. “We are a friendly, active and responsive city with wonderful parks, schools, services and neighborhoods. I’m proud of this honor, and thankful to our residents and many partners who make Beaverton the amazing city it is.”
Beaverton was noted for its great schools, public transportation, outdoor natural areas, scenic parks and big area employers such as Nike, Intel and IBM. Family (and pet) friendly attractions and eateries, as well as proximity to “date night” spots like wineries, also helped propel Beaverton to one of the top spots.
The list is an exclusive, independent, editorial ranking that uses best data and research for determination. Factors considered include U.S. cities with a population between 20,000 and 300,000, percent of population that is under age six, measures of children’s health, cost of childcare, number of parks and libraries, walkability and more. In all, more than 2,000 cities were analyzed.
Other cities featured in this year’s ranking include Bozeman, MT, Fort Collins, CO and Ann Arbor, MI.
