Atlanta ranks No. 12 in America’s Best Cities

by Emily Marek

Resonance Consultancy has announced its ranking of the best cities around the country, with Atlanta coming in at No. 12.

The firm’s annual Best Cities in America ranking is based on six main criteria: place (including walkability, bikeability, landmarks and outdoor areas), product (airports, convention centers, museums, universities and pro sports teams), programming (culture, nightlife, food, shopping and attractions), people (diversity, education levels and percentage of the population born outside the U.S.), prosperity (number of Fortune 500 companies, knowledge based-businesses, cost of living and poverty rates) and promotion (based on Facebook check-ins, Google searches and trends, Tripadvisor reviews and Instagram hashtags).

Taking all that into account, Atlanta came in at No. 12 — with a relatively high ranking for airport connectivity and convention centers. Resonance Consultancy, which touts its proprietary analysis of a city’s “lovability,” noted Atlanta’s importance to the Civil Rights movement, as well as its growing population (almost 250,000 new residents in two years) and ambitious urban renewal projects like the Gulch and Centennial Yards.

The city that ranked the highest overall was New York, which unsurprisingly came in as No. 1 for sights and landmarks and also claims the most Instagram hashtags. Atlanta also placed well in Resonance’s 2023 World’s Best Cities, grabbing the No. 50 position between Frankfurt, Germany, and Stockholm, Sweden.
