All the Tastykakes and Rita\u2019s ice in the world wasn\u2019t enough to help your city shed its underdog status and claim the crown of Greatest City In Pennsylvania.<br \/>\nThat\u2019s because after an exhaustive mathematical analysis of cold hard facts, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Movoto Real Estate<\/a> Blog has concluded that Pittsburgh is actually your state\u2019s numero uno when pitted against its nine other largest metros in terms of things to do, money to do them with, crime, smarts, and more. In fact, Philly didn\u2019t even crack the top five.<br \/>\nWe know this news may be hard to hear, but for Pittsburghers it sounds like winning. Steel City bested the rest by a pretty wide margin, creating a top 10 ranked like this:<br \/>\n1. City of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/pittsburgh-pa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pittsburgh<\/a><br \/>\n2. City of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/harrisburg-pa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harrisburg<\/a><br \/>\n3.

City of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/scranton-pa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Scranton<\/a><br \/>\n10. City of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/allentown-pa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Allentown<\/a><br \/>\nBefore you hit send on that nasty email, why not at least let us explain how this all came together?<\/p>\n<h2>Greatness Can Be Measured<\/h2>\n<p>How\u2019d we do this? Simple: We took the 10 biggest cities in the state and compared them using 14 criteria that correlate with fun, quality of life, smarts, and happiness:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/greatest-philadelphia\/images\/criteria.png\" alt=\"The Greatest City In Pennsylvania\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><br \/>\nEach city got a score of \u00a01 to 10 (lower being better) in these categories, based on data from the U.S. Census, the FBI, Facebook, Twitter, and business listings. After these scores were averaged into one ultimate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/kind-of-a-big-deal-lists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Big Deal Score<\/a>, Pittsburgh came out on top.<br \/>\nEven though Pittsburgh ruled supreme, all of the places we ranked had certain things they were good at. Here\u2019s a look at what those were; consider them your consolation prize.<\/p>\n<h2>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/pittsburgh-pa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pittsburgh<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/greatest-philadelphia\/images\/1.jpg\" alt=\"Pittsburgh, PA\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Matthew Paulson<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/greatest-philadelphia\/images\/pittsburgh.png\" alt=\"The Greatest City In Pennsylvania\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><br \/>\nAs you can see, Steel City did best in one of our \u201csmarts\u201d criteria: the percent of residents who\u2019ve graduated from college. It also placed in the top three for all the amenities &amp; attractions categories, employment, and high school graduation rate. Rival \u00a0Philadelphia only ranked higher in one: walkability. Where Pittsburgh placed sixth there, Pilly was second.<\/p>\n<h2>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/harrisburg-pa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harrisburg<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/greatest-philadelphia\/images\/2.jpg\" alt=\"Harrisburg, PA\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Don Shall<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/greatest-philadelphia\/images\/harrisburg.png\" alt=\"The Greatest City In Pennsylvania\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><br \/>\nHarrisburg actually had Pittsburgh beat when it came to all the amenities categories\u2014in fact, it placed first across the board there. However, since we awarded the overall ranking based on an average of 14 scores, that wasn\u2019t enough to catapult this city into first.<\/p>\n<h2>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/lancaster-pa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lancaster<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/greatest-philadelphia\/images\/3.jpg\" alt=\"Harrisburg, PA\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user City of Lancaster Mayor&#8217;s Office of Special Events<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/greatest-philadelphia\/images\/lancaster.png\" alt=\"The Greatest City In Pennsylvania\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><br \/>\nLancaster came out on top in terms of employment, with its 6.3 percent unemployment rate being the best out of the 10 cities we pitted against one another. It also placed in the top three for all its amenities criteria and was the most walkable city we ranked (meaning its amenities are the most convenient to reach on foot).<\/p>\n<h2>4. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/bethlehem-pa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bethlehem<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/greatest-philadelphia\/images\/4.jpg\" alt=\"Bethlehem, PA\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Marty Desilets<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/greatest-philadelphia\/images\/bethlehem.png\" alt=\"The Greatest City In Pennsylvania\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><br \/>\nNot just the safest place we looked at (with the lowest crimes per 100,000 in 2012), Bethlehem was also the most wealthy. When we adjusted its median household income of $44,310 for the cost of living index (95, where the national average is 100), it was actually like Bethlehem\u2019s households brought home $46,642 a year\u2014more than any of the nine other places.<\/p>\n<h2>5. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/altoona-pa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Altoona<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/greatest-philadelphia\/images\/5.jpg\" alt=\"Altoona, PA\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Joe Penniston<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/greatest-philadelphia\/images\/altoona.png\" alt=\"The Greatest City In Pennsylvania\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><br \/>\nAltoona may have placed near the bottom of the pack for college graduates (ninth, actually) but this place is producing high school graduates like nowhere else. Its 82 percent graduation rate was the best we found. The city also placed in the top three for adjusted income, crime, employment, and commute time.<\/p>\n<h2>6. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/erie-pa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Erie<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/greatest-philadelphia\/images\/6.jpg\" alt=\"Erie, PA\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user uniquelycat (Cathy) Smith<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/greatest-philadelphia\/images\/erie.png\" alt=\"The Greatest City In Pennsylvania\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><br \/>\nYou know what you won\u2019t be spooked by in Erie? The commute time. At just 18 minutes on average, it gave this city a first-place rank for that criterion. Of course, you\u2019ll have to factor in the driving time to somewhere more exciting at night, seeing as how it was almost last for nightlife and arts &amp; entertainment.<\/p>\n<h2>7. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/reading-pa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reading<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/greatest-philadelphia\/images\/7.jpg\" alt=\"Reading, PA\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Jack<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/greatest-philadelphia\/images\/reading.png\" alt=\"The Greatest City In Pennsylvania\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><br \/>\nRemember how we said we\u2019d focus on what each city did best? Well, in this case, we really have to point out where Reading came in last: high school and college graduation. Get it, because the city\u2019s called \u201cReading\u201d? Ahem. Anyway, on the plus side, this city is very walkable, and has plenty of parks &amp; active life options per capita.<\/p>\n<h2>8. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/philadelphia-pa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Philadelphia<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/greatest-philadelphia\/images\/8.jpg\" alt=\"Philadelphia, PA\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user jdigit3l<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/greatest-philadelphia\/images\/philadelphia.png\" alt=\"The Greatest City In Pennsylvania\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><br \/>\nAh, there\u2019s Philly! You knew this wasn\u2019t going to be pretty based on the ranking up top, but that\u2019s not to say the city doesn\u2019t have lots going for it. Take for instance walkability, which, as we touched on earlier, is how convenient amenities are on foot. Your city placed second overall for that, and third for college grads as a percentage of population. Plus, it\u2019s got more amenities per square mile than half the places we looked at.<\/p>\n<h2>9. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/scranton-pa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Scranton<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/greatest-philadelphia\/images\/9.jpg\" alt=\"Scranton, PA\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user bclinesmith<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/greatest-philadelphia\/images\/scranton.png\" alt=\"The Greatest City In Pennsylvania\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><br \/>\nScranton may not have placed first for anything, but a third-place finish for crime isn\u2019t anything to feel bad about. Neither it another third-place rank for commute time (20 minutes). Sure, it\u2019s not the most glamorous stat, but it\u2019s still an important one.<\/p>\n<h2>10. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/allentown-pa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Allentown<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/greatest-philadelphia\/images\/10.jpg\" alt=\"Allentown, PA\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Paul Sableman<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/greatest-philadelphia\/images\/allentown.png\" alt=\"The Greatest City In Pennsylvania\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><br \/>\nAllentown may have ranked pretty poorly across the board for amenities per capita and square mile compared to the nine other places we ranked, but at least they\u2019re fairly walkable. Okay, so that\u2019s some faint praise, but we\u2019re trying to be positive here.<br \/>\nNone of these cities placed better than Pittsburgh, and that\u2019s kind of the point. So congratulations, City of Champions\u2014you\u2019re the champion. Oh, and the next time the whole Philly \/ The \u2018Burgh argument comes up (in 3\u2026 2\u2026 1) you now have this ranking to settle it once and for all. Oh, who are we kidding?
