Hoover Is Alabama's Best City To Live In: Study

HOOVER, AL — A recent report ranking the best cities to live in each state confirmed what the City of Hoover proudly displays in front of its municipal center: Hoover is a great place to live.

A recent study from 24/7 Wall Street has Hoover as the best city to live in Alabama, based on a variety of metrics. The study created a weighted index of 25 measures in four main categories – economy, affordability, quality of life, and community – using data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the FBI, and other sources to identify the best city to live in each state.

"A relatively safe place, Hoover’s annual violent crime rate of 133 incidents per 100,000 people is well below the state rate of 511 incidents per 100,000," the study says of Hoover. "People living in Hoover are also far more likely to be financially secure than the typical Alabama resident."
