Honolulu 54th in bang-for-the-buck ranking


Advertiser Staff

Honolulu has come in at 54 in Forbes magazine’s “Best Bang-For-The Buck Cities,” which attempts to come up with a ranking of cities based on their housing markets, employment, cost-of-living and quick commutes.

Omaha, Nebraska was at the top of the list of 100 cities, while the worst was the Los Angeles-Santa Ana metropolitan area.
Honolulu’s ranking was pulled down by its last-place ranking in housing affordability and its 97th place showing in the job forecast category.
