This RelocateAmerica.com survey isn’t the only one where Austin ranked in a top position. In fact, the capital city also took the number two position on the Website’s “America’s Top 100 Places to Live for 2010″ report. To develop this list, the Website considered the impact the recession had on the area as well as its likelihood to enjoy a swift recovery. Huntsville, Alabama took the first place position on this list as well.

While Huntsville, Alabama may have had a slight edge on Austin when it comes to the best places to relocate and to the best places to live in 2010, it doesn’t come close to comparing to the eco-friendliness of the city. In fact, Austin was ranked as the fifth most eco-friendly city in the country, with Portland, Oregon taking the number one position, followed by Boston, Massachusetts, then Madison, Wisconsin and, finally, Boulder Colorado.
