These are the best (and worst) big cities to reside in this yearThese are the best (and worst) big cities to reside in this yearHome may be where the heart is, but where you live matters as well.New WalletHub data shows that Seattle, Washington is the best big city to reside in this year.The company analyzed 62 of the biggest American cities (each with more than 300,000 residents) in terms of five factors quality of life, economy, safety, education health and affordability. It then took a look at those five in terms of 56 other factors before eventually giving each city a score out of 100.

Irazbal-Zurita, PhD, Director of the Latina/Latino Studies Program and Professor of Planning at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, told WalletHub about the worst thing people do when relocating.The biggest mistake people make when planning a move to a new place is mis-estimating the relationship between sources of income that are going to be available in t he new setting and the cost of living, she told the site. If income is insufficient, people can incur in debt and the situation will eventually become unsustainable. People may be forced to have more than one job, potentially compromising their quality of life and health. Negatively, people may face financial default or house eviction, from which it is hard to recover.
