    The article is based on net migration rates and unemployment.

    Because nothing spells 'cool' like net migration.

    Houston, nice place to live. Good economy, (relatively) cheap houses.

    But cool place? Hmmm.....

    A big factor in their rankings is population growth which would explain some of these rankings.

    I think what contributed to our drop was UofH being ranked as a "top 20 sober school". What kind of BS is that? I think we were ranked above JVG's Nazareth!

    I don't know what metric they're using, because DC really isn't too cool to live in. There's a ton of museums and interesting stuff for tourists. And I suppose once people get older and settle down, nightlife isn't a concern. But, in my mind at least, a cool city is a trendy one with nightlife and lots to do. DC lacks nightlife outside of rich northeastern transplants hanging out at Georgetown. I live in DC currently- and most of the time the city is dead.
