Johns Creek has yet another national ranking it can boast about.

24/7 Wall St. — an online publication that produces business and financial news — released this week its America's top 50 Cities to Live ranking, and Johns Creek cracked the list with an overall position of four.

The cities of Richardson, Texas; Meridian, Idaho; and Broomfield, Colo. rounded out the top three.

Authors considered 550 U.S. cities with populations of more than 65,000 residents last year. They also collected data from nine categories: crime, demography, economy, education, environment, health, housing, infrastructure and leisure.

So, exactly how did 24/7 Wall St. select Johns Creek for a top position?

They considered the city’s median annual household income — which is more than $115,000 — its low poverty rate, and residents having high levels of education.

Brag on Johns Creek. Brag away.
