Personal finance site WalletHub ranks 182 large U.S. cities for their fun factor, weighing entertainment, recreation and nightlife options against local costs.
"This study incorporates cost of living and ticket prices to rank the most fun cities that are also budget-friendly," said WalletHub analyst Jill Gonzalez. "A fun city is one determined by its options, accessibility and cost-effectiveness in terms of entertainment, recreation, parties and nightlife."
Some cities, like New York, are just so much fun that they ranked near the top of the list despite sky-high local prices. The Big Apple, for example, boasts the most restaurants and playgrounds "per square root of the population," according to WalletHub, at 7.5023 and 0.6241, respectively. That's more than 30 times the number of eateries in Peoria, Arizona — the U.S. city with the fewest restaurants, at 0.2464 — and 19 times more playgrounds than Hialeah, Florida, which has the fewest playgrounds . Results like those land New York in the No. 3 spot in the list of most fun cities despite its poor ranking — dead last, at 182 out of 182— for cost-effectiveness.
