We\u2019ve got bad news for the \u201cstop moving to Texas\u201d crowd, and even worse news for the \u201cstop moving to DFW\u201d crowd. <\/p>\n

Consumer Affairs, an online research and review resource, has compiled a list of the best cities to move to in the state<\/a>. And while we know Dallas-Fort Worth is the most superior slice of the state, we aren\u2019t sure we want everyone else to know that. Traffic is bad enough<\/a>, and some secrets are best kept close, right? Consumer Affairs also noted its data finding that Texas is one of the top states people are moving to<\/a> in the U.S., as if we all haven\u2019t already noticed that.<\/p>\n

The list looked at the 50 most populous cities in the state and ranked them by things like health care, education, affordability, safety and overall quality of life. The list makers had to suspend knowledge of where Texas ranks in healthcare for women<\/a> and children<\/a> in comparison to the rest of the country, we guess. Never mind the current\u00a0state of education<\/a>\u00a0and the book-banning crusade<\/a>, too. <\/p>\n

Anyway, four out of the top five cities to move to belong to the North Texas area. Allen took the top spot, while Frisco followed close behind at No. 2, Plano at No. 3 and McKinney at No. 4 \u2014 Mansfield is ranked No. 9 and Richardson slid into tenth place. Interestingly, where our never-sheepish Observer readers are concerned, Frisco and Plano are actually among some of the worst suburbs around here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhen news happens, Dallas Observer is there \u2014
Your support strengthens our coverage.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWe\u2019re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If the\u00a0Dallas Observer\u00a0matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Allen was praised for its safety ranking (the second safest in the entire state, apparently) and access to green spaces \u2014 admittedly, we were shocked by the study\u2019s finding that 87% of residents live within walking distance of parks and nature. Expectedly, Frisco receieved nods for being the home to both the PGA of America and the Dallas Cowboys, and the economic prosperity that comes with that. Consumer Affairs also praised its education system, but again, best of a bad situation<\/a> there. Meanwhile, Plano\u2019s third place was anchored by an overall quality of life, boosted by its selection of good eats. And though McKinney scored third-highest for safety in the state, the study found its not exactly the most rent-friendly, stating, \u201cMcKinney isn\u2019t the most affordable place in Texas \u2014 the median rent is slightly higher than the state\u2019s ($1,823 versus $1,741).\u201d <\/p>\n

Of the state\u2019s four largest cities, Austin pulled the highest at No. 26, while Fort Worth landed at No. 39 and Dallas at No. 46. We still beat Houston (No. 50), though.<\/p>\n
