Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine has a new list of "Best Cities for All Stages of Life" and full city rankings based on cost of living, creative class salary growth and a Bohemian Indicator.

Milwaukee holds its own on the new list with a Bohemian Indicator of 111. This score beat out cities like Chicago, Indianapolis, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Dayton, Pittsburgh, Houston and even Phoenix.

The Bohemian Indicator shows the concentration of writers, designers, musicians, actors and other arts-related workers, based on the national average being 100. Creativity, of course, drives success in many communities. Boulder, if you were wondering, topped the list with a 201.

Other Wisconsin cities on the list include Madison and Green Bay. Both of these cities made the top 25 in various categories, but Green Bay was near the bottom for its Bohemian Indicator.

The publication, in partnership with Richard Florida, a professor of public policy at George Mason University, author of "The Rise of the Creative Class," and frequent speaker in Madison and Milwaukee, ranked 167 U.S. metropolitan areas.
