According to a study recently published by Portfolio.com, Austin is one of the top ten cities in terms of the quality of life it offers to its residents.

In order to develop this list, 20 different statistical categories were considered. The highest scores were given to those areas with the most well-rounded markets, including those that offered a moderate cost of living, a high-powered educational system, solid housing stocks and healthy economies.
