COLUMBUS, Ohio
Population: 822,553

Median home price: $135,000

Though Ohio’s largest city, Columbus maintains a small town feel—especially on Saturdays during football season—in part because it is home to Ohio State University. The diverse local economy features jobs with big companies in education, financial services and medical research. Columbus is not only home to four local Fortune 500 companies but many very small businesses with just one to four employees. In fact, its 19,341 such businesses is more than twice the national average for metro areas.
