The city of Flint, MI (zip code 48502) is home to over 97,000 residents and is ranked number 496 out of 1,769 on the BestPlaces rankings list. The city has an overall rank of 5.2 out of 10 points, largely due to its low cost of living at only 79% compared to the national average. Despite being a relatively affordable option for those looking to move, Flint has earned two negative rankings in the crime and education categories. In terms of crime rates, Flint ranks 644th in violent crimes per 100k people and 845th in property crimes per 100k people. Similarly, education ratings are low due to limited access to higher education institutions or opportunities for students looking for additional academic support. However, Flint's overall ranking reflects its strong economic environment with an unemployment rate lower than the US average and job growth rate at almost twice as much as the rest of the nation.
