News such as this is always good.

But one has to look at the methodology.

Is this just a statistical analysis?


I once lived in a small/medium town (not is AZ). The headlines of local newspaper stated "Best Small Town is US". The town was a dump. An old left behind mill town. Downtown was mostly vacant but for a bank or two and a couple of shops. The folks who came up with this conclusion never actually set foot in the town. All done by statistics.

Back to Arizona. The was a year or two ago some police chief in one of the Valley towns/cities who was slanting crime statistics. Some statistics were over reported while others were under reported. All was in the newspapers.

So if this is a statistical analysis only the one has to take a grain of salt wth conclusions.

I agree about both cities making the list.

Chandler is especially appealing to a wide mix of people, families, singles, minorities, seniors, the list goes on.

Scottsdale is very well-managed but it tends to attract more of a restricted crowd, those who have money and those who pretend to have it but still like to flaunt it.
