The City of Carmel has been recognized as one of the top communities in the nation, earning the No. 2 spot in Livability’s 2025 Top 100 Best Places to Live. This data-driven list evaluated more than 2,000 U.S. cities with populations between 75,000 and 500,000.

Livability’s ranking methodology considers nearly 100 data points across eight key categories, including economy, housing and cost of living, amenities, transportation, environment, safety, and education.
