Cities with lower apartment stock were excluded. A total of 149 cities were the final candidates for the ranking.<\/p>\n<p>To determine the best cities for renters, the RentCafe analytics team used a composite index to compare cities across three main categories: <strong>Cost of Living &amp; Housing;<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Local Economy;<\/strong> and <strong>Quality of Life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The three main categories were compiled from 20 relevant metrics. Each metric received a score based on a minimum and maximum value multiplied by the metric's weight.<\/p>\n<p>To create the categories index, the process of ranking was repeated and then the results were multiplied by each category's overall weight.<\/p>\n<p>Data from Yardi Matrix, a RentCafe sister division, covers apartment buildings of 50 units or more.
