The Milken Institute, a non-profit think tank based in Santa Monica California, releases a ranking each year for the best performing cities based on “GDP growth, wage increase, job creation,” and other factors. Comparing over 400,000 metropolitan areas, it may well surprise people that Utah has three cities in their top ten ranking this year. Provo-Orem was ranked at number one, with Salt Lake City following closely behind at number four, and Ogden-Clearfield jumping into the top ten at number nine.
As stated by the report, “These cities registered levels of wage and job growth that were far above the national median. They also had relatively affordable housing costs and very high levels of broadband access, indicating inclusive growth based on housing and infrastructure investment.”
