Livability.com's list consisted of more than 2,000 cities with populations ranging from 20,000 to 350,000. Those cities were then ranked by the following criteria:

  • Amenities
  • Demographics
  • Economy
  • Education
  • Health care
  • Housing
  • Social and civic capital
  • Transportation

Each category was then given a weighted score. The eight categories were then combined to give each city a total livability score. 

White Plains received a total livability score of 622. The city excelled in several categories, including demographics, amenities, transportation, and social and civic capital. 

White Plains only struggled in one category, netting a low rating in the economy category, which factors in cost of living and affordability. 

Madison, Wis., was rated the top overall city with a total livability score of 705.
