Austin ranked as No. 1 place to live after college
real estate website Point2 has developed a list of the best places for life after college, and Austin — home of the University of Texas — hooks the No. 1 ranking.
The website looked at an array of factors to come up with its ranking, such as population growth, business growth, median age, household income growth, poverty rate, and housing availability and prices.
Point2 considered only the 86 places that host the country’s 100 most successful colleges and universities, as rated by U.S. News & World Report.
Other Texas communities on the list are:
- No. 5 Fort Worth, home of Texas Christian University.
- No. 17 College Station, home of Texas A&M University.
- No. 21 Dallas, home of Southern Methodist University.
- No. 24 Waco, home of Baylor University.
- No. 33 Houston, home of Rice University.
