25 Most Women-Friendly Cities

After many hours of contemplation, we've made our final choices.

Some US cities are perfect for the intelligent, driven women of today. It’s easy to identify the qualities of a top-notch city: lots of economic opportunity, strong education and health care system, safe streets, and a sense of community and culture. But which city is the right one for you?

Excelle has combed through hordes of city lists, best-of rankings, and personal opinions to come up with a list of 25 US cities which are worth getting excited about. We think our list is a little better than most of the other lists we’ve come across on the internet – which is why we’re excited to share it with you.

Criteria:

Which cities in America have the highest diversity? The least amount of crime? The highest salaries for women? What do most women do for a living in Madison, Wisconsin?

Implementing a lengthy list of ways to objectively compare each city to the next, we think there’s useful information for everyone in this city guide. Did I mention that we’ve also linked to a job search database, which displays job postings in real time for the 5 most popular professions for women in each city on our list?

Crave the fast pace of a big city? Or are you just wondering if your city made the list? Get started below:

City Rankings:

Cities 16 – 25
Cities 6 – 15
Cities 1 – 5

    As I viewed the cities, I saw no mention of Greenville South Carolina, or Charolette NC made, These are two cities where women can flourish. Greenville is very open for women business owners, and women workforce in general. There is very low crime, home affordability is exceptional, and product and services are above standards on the nation overview. Greenville continues to grow and redevelop even in these times.....
