Aurora has been named one of the 2025 Top 100 Best Places to Live by Livability.com, outpacing more than 2,000 U.S. cities with populations between 75,000 and 500,000 in this data-driven list. You can read more about why Aurora was chosen on their dedicated page on the website. To emphasize affordability, Livability only includes cities with a median home value under $500,000 and awards a slight edge to places with reasonable rent and home costs relative to local income. The platform’s intuitive filtering system allows users to refine the list by category importance, median home value, population size, and region. Interactive maps further enhance the user experience, visually exploring each city’s attributes.
