I lived in Des Moines for a year. It's a very vibrant city with a lot more happening than Lexington. Lexington does very well for its size level though.
Des Moines for all three categories, but that's not to take anything from Lexington. It's just a decent bit smaller and it does pretty well for its size IMO.
It's not a very apples to apples to comparison. Lexington is primarily a college town. Des Moines is the largest metro area in it's state and doesn't house a large public college.
Des Moines wins on all categories, but it's almost like comparing Des Moines to Minneapolis or Kansas City.
