Pittsburgh
Rank: 11
Population: 308,090

Pittsburgh just misses the top 10. It has strong leisure offerings and major universities in the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon. The city is limited by its industrial legacy, with crime and air quality as areas needing improvement. Pittsburgh natives are fiercely proud of their town and their pro sports teams, such as the Penguins and Steelers. Also of note: the Andy Warhol Museum, displaying thousands of works by the legendary pop artist and Pittsburgh native.
