Northfield Among Best Cities To Live In Minnesota

Several Twin Cities-area communities are included among the Best Cities To Live In Minnesota, according to a new ranking released by Chamber of Commerce, an online resource website for small business owners and entrepreneurs.

Included on this year’s list is Northfield, which ranks 24th on the list of best cities to live. Northfield came in just ahead of Circle Pines and just behind Brainerd.

Chamber of Commerce ranked a total of 2,509 qualified cities with populations above 25,000 and with enough data to analyze. The organization determined rankings by taking into account five factors: employment (number of establishments, median earnings); housing (owner-occupied housing with a mortgage, monthly housing costs); quality of life (work commute, poverty levels); education (percentage with a bachelor’s degree or higher); and health (obesity ratios).
