Livability lists [edit]
In 2010, Livability.com published the first Livability Lists compiled by the site's editors, listing the top 10 unexpected golf cities[8] and the top 10 cities for foodies.[8] Since then, editors have added more livability lists that rank cities deemed as best in categories, such as "best college towns",[9] "most accessible cities", "top 10 cities to defy death"[10] and "top 10 places to steal a kiss". The Livability Lists have been the subject of several newspaper articles, television newscasts and blog posts from media outlets nationwide.
