What are the best Cincinnati neighborhoods for millennials? The answers that quality of life website Niche.come dug up might surprise you. Researchers with the website crunched some numbers on neighborhoods across the country, measuring the amount of people who have college degrees; the percentage of residents 25-34; the all-important proximity of coffee shops, restaurants and bars; economic and ethnic diversity; crime levels and how safe the neighborhood is; and how easy it is to walk to everyday destinations.
