“This year’s rankings are a reflection of the current economic, social and natural factors that impact a place’s livability for its residents,” Devon Thorsby, real estate editor at U.S. News, said in a news release.

“People are considering more than housing when they look at an area’s affordability, they want to know how much goods cost in that area,” he said. “The ever-present risk for severe weather and a community’s ability to recover, coupled with the area’s opportunities for social activities, are also taken into account when evaluating a best place to live.”

In addition to a survey to determine whether people want to live in a given metro area, the desirability index now includes weather temperateness, which evaluates the number of days annually that the temperature falls between 33 degrees and 89 degrees Fahrenheit.

It also looks at establishment-to-population ratio, which assesses the number of restaurants, bars and activities per 1,000 residents.

In addition, having been its own Index in previous editions, net migration is now part of the desirability index.

Here are some other notable tidbits

As the economic fluctuation and implications of inflation continue to impact cost of living across the country, the value index, which previously focused solely on housing affordability, now factors in price parity, a U.S. census data point on the general cost of goods within an area, according to U.S. News.

The methodology this year takes into account the area's job market, value, quality of life and desirability.

These measures were weighted in part based on a public survey of thousands of individuals throughout the U.S. to find out what qualities they consider important in a place to live.

Fort Myers is listed as the third fastest growing area, right behind Sarasota in the No. 2 spot.

Naples is listed as the safest place, followed by Port St. Lucie and Fort Myers came in third for safety.

Lakeland is fourth fasted growing place followed by Port St. Lucie as fifth.

The methodology also includes data from the National Weather Service, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), U.S. Census Bureau, the FBI, Sharecare (Nasdaq: SHCR), the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S. News rankings of the Best High Schools and Best Hospitals.
