The 2011 Global Livability Rankings assessed each city based on 30 factors in five categories: stability, health care, education, infrastructure and culture and environment. Each city was then given an overall ranking of 0 to 100, with 100 being the most "ideal" city in the world for living.
Other U.S. cities joining Pittsburgh on the ranking's top-41 list are Washington, D.C., at No. 34; Chicago, Atlanta and Miami tied at No. 36; Detroit at No. 40; and Boston at No. 41.
Main article is about Pittsburgh, but couldn't help noticing the bolded. Thoughts?
I'm not trying to be a city booster, but instead, maybe someone could provide a context as to how the bolded cities outranked Boston based on those 5 categories. (I can't find the full report for free anywhere.)
