    The metropolitan Knoxville area was recently ranked the "best place to live in the United States and Canada" among cities with a population of fewer than 1 million. The ranking came from the Millennium edition of "Places Rated Almanac" published by IDG Books Worldwide. The results confirmed what most in this area have known for a long time - Knoxville is the best small city in the country!

    The study analyzed 354 metropolitan areas for living costs, transportation, job outlook, education, climate, crime, the arts, health care and recreation to determine the rankings. The Knoxville area was ranked above the 80th percentile in the areas of cost of living, job opportunity, education, health care and recreation. Knoxville's overall ranking was a score of 72.74, only 2 points behind Denver and one point behind Cincinnati. Knoxville is ranked for each category as follows:
