Dearborn ranks among America’s ‘Overlooked dream cities’ by consumer website
The city ranked No. 14 among smaller cities based on walkability, crime rate, cost of living, and amenities.
Metro Detroiters already know that Dearborn is a good value. Now consumer website GoodCall.com is letting the rest of the world know it too.
The website recently released a list of the top 461 cities with a population of fewer than 300,000 people, ranked based on criteria for walkability, crime rate, cost of living and amenities. Dearborn ranked number 14 on that list, which is dominated by northeast and midwest towns.
Other Michigan cities to make the list include Grand Rapids (7), Warren, MI (27), Ann Arbor (29), Kalamazoo (37), Westland (42), Lansing (47) and Southfield (50).
