WalletHub was out Monday with its latest ranking of cities that are best for first-time home buyers, and, not surprisingly, it finds that the nation’s biggest cities are not high on the list.
WalletHub compared 300 cities of varying sizes across 27 key indicators of market attractiveness, affordability and quality of life. Broken Arrow, Oklahoma (on the outskirts of Tulsa for the uninitiated) tops the list, followed by Tampa; Centennial, Colorado; Boise; and Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Here’s an interactive map that shows how the cities stack up, or not:
