Travel + Leisure magazine has just published its annual “America’s Favorite Cities” survey, which ranks U.S. metropolises in a variety of a categories, from food, nightlife and public transportation to quality of life, shopping and, yes, the attractiveness of the local population.
Of course, of the 25 cities surveyed, somebody has to come in last in the categories, and in the “attractiveness” category, the City of Brotherly Love finishes 25th. Philly also finished second to last for “stylish locals,” which I suppose is somewhat related, and dead last as a destination for “active people.”
Ouch. But Philly has company: New Orleans, Atlanta, Orlando, Washington, D.C., San Antonio, Santa Fe, Dallas, Boston and Chicago rounded out the cities with the least attractive populations.
The converse?
T+L readers ranked Miami as having the most attractive locals. San Diego, Austin, Charleston, Honolulu, L.A., San Francisco, Minneapolis, New York and Denver complete the top 10 in that category.
