SALT LAKE CITY — One of the most prestigious rankings in the U.S. has placed Salt Lake City among the Top 25 Best Places to Live in the country.
U.S. News & World Report released its 2021-2022 list Tuesday, and Utah's capital made the cut at No. 23 overall.
The city was praised for it's affordability and job market.
