Fortune, Places Rated
Almanac, Employment Review, and Entrepreneur magazines all rate
Greater Cincinnati as one of the best U.S. cities to live, work
and do business. A key factor in that rating is the outstanding
variety of cultural, recreational, entertainment and sports
activities available in this area...its excellent and affordable
housing...and its low crime rate, the fourth lowest among major
U.S. metropolitan areas.
Amidst the gently
rolling hills along the Ohio River, Greater Cincinnati spreads
from the southwestern corner of Ohio into northern Kentucky and
southeastern Indiana. Winston Churchill called Cincinnati
"the most beautiful inland city in America." The
metropolitan Cincinnati population is about 1.8 million people.
