Recently at the National Relocation Conference in San Francisco, Cincinnati was named the 10th best city for relocation. The study compiled a number of factors important to relocating families for large, medium and small markets. Some of the factors included housing costs, commuting ease and access to educational and medical facilities.

Of significant note was that 30% of the top 10 cities were Midwestern; Indianapolis, Columbus, and Cincinnati. Additionally, real estate costs and access to good public education may have been significant contributors, considering the relative stability of the housing markets in all three cities.  A bit further down the list Cleveland was ranked #12 adding to the overall assertion that the Midwest is a desirable place to relocate to.
