We all want to live in safe and affordable cities, and lucky for us — Georgia is home to four cities on MoneyGeek’s Safest and Most Affordable Small and Mid-to-Large Cities in the U.S. list.
Crucial factors for most people when choosing a place to live include safety and affordability.
To uncover the most affordable and safest small and mid-to-large cities in the U.S., MoneyGeek analyzed cost data from the Census Bureau’s one-year American Community Survey and MIT’s Living Wage Calculator, focusing on the top cities from their safest small and mid-to-large city studies.
And guess what? Several Georgia cities are tops!
Georgia is home to the safest and most affordable small cities in the U.S., with Roswell and Johns Creek ranking No. 1 and No. 2, respectively. Not only that, but Alpharetta came in at No. 9!
According to their study, “Roswell stands out with the third-highest, five-year income growth among small cities, while Johns Creek has low mortgage and food costs relative to income, with both costs ranking in the top five.”
