Nevada Cities See High Rankings In Annual Report

RENO, Nev. (AP) — An annual report ranking U.S. cities has placed Reno and Las Vegas among the top 10 small and big cities.

The Reno Gazette-Journal reports the "America's Best Cities 2018" rankings placed Las Vegas fifth in the big city category and Reno sixth among the smaller cities.

The report was released by Resonance Consultancy, a consulting firm on international destination branding. The rankings are based on six categories, including economic factors, infrastructure, housing affordability, online search results and social media attention.

Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval says Nevada's good showing in the rankings is a result of the actions taken following the recession. He says the state is starting to see the benefits of the investments placed into economic development and universities.
