Several Texas cities made the list, but nice to see us in the top 100.

We have many positive things to say about living in Wichita Falls, but that's us who live here. Nice to see that Wichita Falls made the Niche.com list for top cities to live in the country. Wichita Falls landed at 97 on the list for 2021. Several grades got us into that top 100 spot.

A- for Nightlife, A for Diversity, A- for Cost of Living (I personally would put that at A+), A for Diversity, and an A for Commute (I would also put this one at A+). The only areas we really scored bad in were for Crime & Safety and Outdoor Activities. Our city received a C for both of those. I can see the crime rating, but I think outdoor activities is too low for us.

Stacker used data from the 2020 County Health Rankings to rank every state's average life expectancy from lowest to highest.
