Elmhurst Ranks High In 'Best Small Cities' Survey

ELMHURST, IL – Elmhurst Mayor Scott Levin on Tuesday touted Elmhurst's high ranking in WalletHub's "Best Small Cities in America" survey.

He said the study was recently circulating on social media. The rankings were released last October, but Glen Ellyn's village government posted on Facebook about it a couple of weeks ago.

Of the more than 1,300 cities with populations of 25,000 to 100,000, Elmhurst ranked 37th, according to WalletHub. It rated highest among its Illinois counterparts.

Glen Ellyn ranked 45th. Both Elmhurst and Glen Ellyn were in the 97th percentile.

The study looked at affordability, economic health, education, health, quality of life and safety.

"It's a credit to our town," Levin told the City Council.
