A recent Harris Poll revealed what many of us already knew – Atlanta is a great place to live. When polled where they would like to live, U.S. residents picked Atlanta as their 13th-most popular city to reside and Georgia as the 14th-most popular state.
New York City topped the Harris Poll this year as American’s No. 1 choice to live, followed by San Francisco, which tied with Denver at the No. 2 spot, San Diego was No. 4 and Seattle was No. 5. The other cities on the top 10 are Chicago (No. 6), Boston (No. 7), Las Vegas (No. 8), Washington, D.C. (No. 9), and Dallas (No. 10).
New York City has topped the list every year except once since 1997.
California is the most popular state, taking the No. 1 spot for the sixth year in a row as the place Americans would like to live if they didn’t live in the state they now live. Florida remains No. 2, Hawaii came in third, Texas was fourth and Colorado was No. 5.
“The most popular states and cities where large numbers of people would like to live tend to attract tourists and business,” according to a Harris news release. “They are places where people like to take vacations and where companies like to have their offices and factories.”
