Austin ranked No. 1 on the list three years in a row from 2017 and 2019


Austin's ranking on a list of best places to live in the United States has dropped for the third consecutive year.

The capital of Texas ranked No. 40 of 150 cities on U.S. News & World Report's "Best Places to Live in the USA" list for 2023-2024, which was released this week.

Austin ranked No. 1 on the list from 2017 to 2019. It dropped out of the top 10 for the first time last year as the city's growth made it more expensive and increasingly prone to violent crime and homelessness.

Pedro Morales, an Austin resident since the 1990s and a business owner, said he has plans to move out of the city soon.
