The Austin-Round Rock metro area is ranked #5 in the U.S. among the Best Cities for Relocating Families, according to a national study. Best Cities for Relocating Families, conducted by Primacy and Worldwide ERC, focuses on the ease with which a family can move to a new city and settle into a new life.
