Colorado Springs ranked 4th Best Midsize City for New Grads by Online Degrees.com. The ranking looked at 69 U.S. cities that either had a city population of between 150,000 and 750,000, or were designated as the principal city of a Metropolitan Statistical Area with a population between 1 million and 1.5 million, according to 2015 estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau. Each location was graded based on a number of employment, demographic, and “fun” factors, such as median rent price, percent of population age 20 to 34, unemployment rate, and number of restaurants or performing arts venues in the area.
