A Smartassets.com study found that the City of Delaware is one of the United States’ best places to live near a large city, coming in at No. 3 nationally.

SmartAsset compared data for nearly 500 “suburbs” located within 15 minutes to an hour by car of a large city (those with a population of 250,000 or more). To determine the ranking, SmartAssest analyzed 13 metrics across three categories: jobs, affordability and livability.

As for the Midwest as a region, data was analyzed for 146 Midwest suburbs and 31 of them rank in the top 50 across all regions – the most of any region.

Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Columbus areas dominate the entire top 10. Brownsburg outside of Indianapolis, Hebron near Cincinnati and Delaware are the top three highest-ranking areas in the study.

Four Columbus-area suburbs ranked in the overall top 20 of our study. They include Delaware, Johnstown, Canal Winchester and Bellefontaine.
