Jacksonville moved up eight spots on U.S. News and World Report’s annual list of best places to live in America.
The annual list, released Tuesday, ranks 150 of the largest U.S. municipalities, weighing factors such as unemployment rate, housing costs, household income, crime rate, education, health care and air quality to determine the rankings. Cost of living and weather were factors for the first time this year.
