Kiplinger.com named Ann Arbor one of the 10 Best Cities for Singles.
According to Kiplinger.com, finding the best cities for singles goes beyond simply identifying the number of bachelors and bachelorettes. Income and living costs are also important factors. The top 10 cities making the list have household income levels well above the Census Bureau average of $49,536. Kiplinger also factored in what they called a date-night tab: the average cost of two movie tickets and a bottle of wine.
Kiplinger.com credited Ann Arbor’s unusual combination of high wages, reasonable living costs and a well-educated dating pool to earning the top spot on their list of best cities for singles.

Employment, education, community leadership and overall quality of life are factors that are strongly considered and examined as well.
RelocateAmerica recently published their list of the “Top 100 Places to Live” and Ann Arbor made the list!
A new component has been added this year to give local residents the opportunity to have their say as to what cities are worthy of the TOP10 list. Part of a yearlong initiative, voting will allow local residents and leaders direct input into how their town rates among the other Top 100 Places to Live.
Voting for the TOP10 is open until Sunday, July 31st. Cast your vote now!
Newsweek studied more than 1,000 of the top high schools across the nation to determine which schools were preforming well above the others in addition to preparing students not only for college, but for life. Saline High School was the only school in Washtenaw County to make the list with their highest ranking yet – 222nd. Among the 16 high schools in Michigan to make the list, Saline High School ranked 4th.
Six metrics were used to rank the top high schools:
- Graduation rate
- College matriculation
- Advanced Placement (AP) tests taken per graduate
- Average SAT/ACT scores
- Average Advance Placement/International Baccalaureate/AICE scores
- Advanced Placement courses offered
According to the Saline-Milan Patch, the Saline Area School district graduated 96% of its students on time and 97% of seniors enroll in college after graduation. In addition, the number of students taking AP courses has doubled from 400 to 800 in just a few years. The recent increase in the number of students taking AP courses is a major contributor to Saline’s recent jump in the ranking.
