Perhaps most importantly, there’s much less sin associated with this city: Despite the fact that Reno was built on the gaming industry, it’s very easy for residents to completely avoid the casinos. Reno residents have a wealth of cultural events and outdoor activities at their fingertips.”
Each city was given a score of 1-10 based on desirability, value, job market, quality of life, and net migration, as well as an overall score. Reno was given an overall score of 6.8. Comparatively, the best place to live, Austin, Texas, was given an overall score of 7.7.
