Sioux Falls named #20 out of 100 cities to live.

Sioux Falls ranks among some of the U.S.'s best small and mid-size American cities, according to a study conducted by Livability.com in partnership with Ipsos.

With the study looking at more than 1,000 cities with populations between 20,000 and one million people, according to a news release from Livability. Sioux Falls sits as the lone South Dakota city on the list at No. 20.

The 2021 list was guided by a survey of 1,000 U.S. adults, who were asked about which "livability characteristics" they value, the news release said. Respondents were asked which factors they would consider when choosing to relocate, and how their needs and priorities have changed since the start of the pandemic.

Small to mid-size U.S. cities were ranked on 50 data points based on the following categories:

This year's list by Livability was shaped by how the pandemic has increased remote work, the news release said.

"These past two years have shown us how important it is that the places we live meet our needs and offer up affordability, opportunity and plenty of amenities," said Cara Sanders, Livability.com managing editor. "If we can work from anywhere, then these 100 cities are places you would want to live and make remote workers' needs a top priority."

While more Americans are working from home now than before March 2020, remote employees still make up a minority of the U.S. workforce. The peak of telework was in May 2020, when 35% of U.S. workers were working remotely, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. By the end of this summer, just 13.4% were working from home.

Still, the majority of U.S. white-collar workers work remotely, and around 40% of them would prefer to continue doing so, according to a May Gallup poll. Workers in education also report high remote-work rates, the poll found, but only 19% want to continue working from home.
