Many indicators have shown that the Texas economy has remained relatively strong in the economic downturn. This was recently confirmed in a Forbes.com ranking of America’s Best Bang for the Buck Cities.

The ranking was based on factors such as projected job growth, median house price, median household income, and the cost of living index. Not surprisingly, Austin was ranked No. 1! In fact, all of the major cities in Texas were included in the top 10 Best Bang for the Buck:

  • #1 Austin
  • #2 San Antonio
  • #4 Houston
  • #7 Dallas

If you live in Austin or have visited, what is your opinion of the city?
