Des Moines Register: U.S. News & World Report released its annual ranking of the Best Places to Live in the U.S. on Tuesday, and Des Moines came in 14th out of the 150 largest U.S. metropolitan areas — right behind Austin, Texas, and just ahead of Boise, Idaho. That places Des Moines among the top 10% of the country’s largest cities. But it’s a step down from previous years. In 2018, U.S. News placed Des Moines fourth, and each year since, Iowa’s capital has dropped in the rankings, including this year, when it slipped one spot down from 13th.
