A stable job, cheap rent, and a good quality of life. Is that too much to ask for? Millennials don’t think so. But the three are hard to find in one location when a tough job market forces young people to go where the jobs are. Good jobs are found in places, such as San Francisco, Boston, and Washington, D.C, but they’re widely unaffordable for the average millennial. The South and Midwest are affordable but often lack the quality of life young people need to feel fulfilled. Where are the best cities for millennials? Is there one?

Apartment List analyzed job availability, affordability, and overall livability of the 75 largest U.S. metros to gauge economic and personal potential, using wage data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and rent data for one-bedroom units from Apartment List. Read on for the 15 cities where young people are employed, happy, and the least strapped for cash.

15. Cincinnati

• Average annual income: $48,130
