Three Massachusetts communities are on Livability’s list of best places to live in the U.S.

Now in its ninth year, Livability’s annual ranking of Top 100 Best Places to Live in America is based on reviews of more than 2,300 cities using more than 50 data points measuring economic stability, housing, amenities, infrastructure, demographics, social and civic capital and health care. 

This year Quincy, Worcester and Framingham all made the list. 

Quincy came in No. 49 with a score of 619. Named after the great-grandfather of President John Quincy Adams, Quincy, located just 23 minutes south of Boston, was praised for its 27 miles of coastline, its strong life sciences and financial services sectors, and its educational opportunities.
