At some point people are going to figure out this place is super-cheap and it's not a dump. At which point it will only be super-cheap for a few more years.

I recognized the potential of the Cincinnati area nearly 20 years ago I was fortunate to be able to buy a modest home in Covington four and a half years ago when the prices hit rock bottom. Had hoped by now to have a much needed second property there but thanks to all the problems I have had working in Indy (car problems due to inept mechanics) it wiped out the money I had to buy a second home. Still I do believe the area has a great future and hopefully I can still stay here.

Is this a legit list? I'm not sure how they are measuring it but I'm not sure it would really make top 10 in the Americas. What would be driving that?

^ The Post #1 link provides the article with a downloadable PDF explaining the methodology. Please keep in mind that these magazines are primarily in-house professional publications seldom viewed by the general public.

Cincinnati is in the Large City category which seems to be metros of the 2 to 4 million population. Metros over 4 million such as New York Atlanta and San Francisco are in the Major City category.

^ Yes. Although in small print, this was duly noted in the very first listing of cities, Post #1...

LARGE CITY/OVERALL (Only cities in the Americas were considered, excluding major cities.)
1. Vancouver (Canada)
2. Seattle
3. San Jose
4. Queretaro (Mexico)
5. San Luis Potosi (Mexico)
6. Cincinnati
7. Denver
8. Calgary (Canada)
9. St. Louis
10. Orlando

...and the enclosed PDF contained all five city groupings: MAJOR/LARGE/MID-SIZED/SMALL/MICRO.

Returning to your observation about metro size cut-off points, before initiating the thread, I had one big question of my own - ie, why were both San Antonio and Austin ranked within major city rather than large city categories? However, I chose not to introduce such a controversial discrepancy because I wished the thread to center primarily on Cincinnati within its own specific large city rankings.

Thanks for sharing this motorman and it definitely appears that the Cincinnati area is on the upswing. With consistent economic growth in the professional and business services sectors, new investments into the downtown, and a recent job surge to get to record low unemployment, Cincy's future is looking very bright!

One question, does Cincy attract a lot of new people / transplants with its recent economic success who have relocated to the area from outside of Ohio, PA, and NKY?
