The Texas State capital took the No. 2 spot on the "America's Top 100 Places to Live for 2010" report for recovery, among others less impacted by recession and therefore expecting a swift recovery. Huntsville, Ala. was ranked first on that list.
Austin was also listed as the fifth-best "earth-friendly" location behind Portland, Ore. (No. 1); Boston, Mass. (No. 2); Madison, Wis. (No. 3); and Boulder, Colo. (No. 4).
