Alexandria, Virginia was ranked according to armytimes.com as being the #1 best medium sized city for veterans to live in.
“In this Washington, D.C., suburb of nearly 156,000 residents, the unemployment rate for both veterans and civilians is lower than the national average. And although traffic around the beltway makes its residents’ work commutes longer than most other medium cities on our list, the city is just a short jaunt from 13 military installations, as well as colleges, employers and franchises also ranked Best for Vets by Military Times.”
Arlington, Virginia was second place for best medium sized cities for veterans to live in.
“People who visit the nation’s capital may not realize that many famous attractions, such as the Pentagon and the Iwo Jima Memorial, are actually in Arlington, Virginia.
While its proximity to D.C., means a higher cost of living for the city’s residents, Arlington’s veterans have the highest average income compared with all other medium-sized cities on our list. The city also received our highest rating for area health, based on averages of state- and county-level data from the United Health Foundation and County Health Rankings and Roadmaps, respectively.”
