Sheboygan placed among 250 'Best Places to Live' in the country, U.S. News says
Sheboygan is one of nine Wisconsin cities named to a list of the best places to live in the U.S., according to a recent U.S. News & World Report ranking.
For its 2025-2026 Best Places to Live list, the publication expanded its data pool to analyze 859 cities in the U.S. based on quality of life, job market, value of living, net migration and desire to live in the area.
Erika Giovanetti, consumer lending analyst at U.S. News & World Report, said in a May 20 statement the expansion "gives consumers a more detailed view into what it's like to live somewhere at the community level."
