2) Novi
Ever thought of living in a city with a sizable diverse population? Come to Novi. It’s a city of 58,000 people, and only 70% of them are white. More than 20% of the population of Novi is of Asian descent. Ninety-one percent of Novi’s workforce is employed in white collar positions, which means a large number of the residents are educated. In fact, 56 percent of the people aged 25 or above are college graduates, which is further reflected in the low crime rate of 0.87 percent, making it safer than most cities in the country. The cost of living here is slightly higher though. The median house or condo value is $250,000. However, this relatively expensive cost of living isn’t very far from the national average. In fact, Novi’s cost of living is just six percent higher than the national average — not at all a bad deal, especially when you consider all the city has to offer.
