"The biggest surprise on our list is Charlotte, N.C. , which is ranked ninth. Charlotte has undergone tremendous economic growth the past decade, while the population has soared 32%. But the current picture isn't as bright. Employment growth has not kept up with population growth, meaning unemployment rates are up more than 50% compared with 10 years ago. Charlotte scored in the bottom half of all six categories we examined. It scored the worst on violent crime, ranking 140th."

i read somewhere else that the biggest factors were air quality and commute time.

They are also building an extensive light rail system to cut down on that commute time.....

they factor in commute times, but if you drive in an big city during rush hour, you are going no where fast.
