Not really surprising. Those cities have always been known for high levels of education and top jobs... starting at the top and going down to Atlanta it's all predictable. If you make 100k a year and live in Cleveland you'll have an excellent standard of living.

I was a bit supprised that cincy wasn't in the list with all the top rated companies that are in the city.
