Money magazine released its list of the 50 best places in live in the U.S. in 2021-2022 and two Utah cities made the cut.
The financial magazine chose its top cities based on how they did in nine different categories: cost of living, economic opportunity, diversity, education, fun, safety, housing market, personal finances, and quality of life. This year's list also highlighted cities that are affordable to live in.
The top rated city in Utah was Syracuse at #6.
Syracuse came in the top 10 because it had the lowest unemployment rate (2.7%) of all of the 50 cities on the list thanks to an economy anchored by Hill Air Force Base. The magazine also loved that the city of just over 32,000 is right next to Antelope Island State Park.
The second city was South Jordan, which came in at #27. South Jordan has a high median income ($103,512) and the number of jobs in the area are expected to increase by 14.7% by 2025. SoJo also hosts plenty of fun things, like the SoJo Summerfest.
