Ann Arbor for Young Professionals

According Next Generation Consulting, Ann Arbor is one of the best places to live for young professionals. NGC has studied the residential and relocation patterns of 20-40 years olds since 1998, and has developed a one-of-a-kind indexing system that evaluates a city based on the assets that are important to next gen workers.

Assets that were considered to be among the most important to the "young professional" subjects of the indexing system were:

Earning, Learning, Vitality, Around Town, After Hours, Cost of Lifestyle, Social Capital

According to NRC, "The next generation is very savvy about choosing where they'll live. They look carefully at quality of life factors like how much time they're going to spend in traffic commuting, if they can live near a park or hike-and-bike trail, and whether a city's downtown stays awake after five."
