Florida boasts the number one city in the nation for veterans to live, according to a new study from personal finance site WalletHub.
"Tampa ranks number 1, especially for its employment factors and for quality of life."
WalletHub analyst Jill Gonzalez says that despite topping the list, there's one thing the city could work on...more VA clinics.
"Because there are a pretty good number of vets there already, there could be a little bit more when it comes to just the number of the health facilities there."
Tampa's not alone, with three other Florida cities in the Top 10.
Gonzalez says Orlando is especially propelled to number 3 overall by its extremely low level of unemployment among those who have fought for our freedom.
"The veteran unemployment rate in Tampa was 3.3 percent. In Orlando, it's 1.3 percent, which is the lowest in the country."
The economy rankings are mostly in the teens for the four Florida cities in the Top. Home prices and rent rates are likely the reason why.
"Although income has grown in a lot of these Florida cities, the income might be higher in other states where the housing is also a little bit cheaper."
St. Petersburg is 9th and Jacksonville is 10th on this list, while Miami is next up at 33.
Hialeah, near Miami, is the worst ranked Florida city, at 83. Veterans there earn just $27,000 a year on average.
WalletHub conducted this study in honor of Veterans Day next Monday, November 11.
