SACRAMENTO, Calif., Sept. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Cities that promote pro-growth policies, encourage entrepreneurship, and efficiently provide core public services ranked at the top of a new "Free Cities Index" of the nation's most 50 populous cities released today by the Free Cities Center at the nonpartisan, free-market think tank, the Pacific Research Institute. 

Key Points: 
  • No city was ranked toward the top of every category, showing that every city has room for improvement.
  • Comparing the rankings to the population growth trends of the largest 50 cities illustrates a clear pattern -- the cities with growing populations tend to maintain pro-growth policy environments while the cities with declining populations maintain anti-growth policies.
  • "The Free Cities Index rankings make clear -- people, voting with their feet, are expressing their support for pro-growth policies by moving to those cities whose policies promote freedom," concluded Winegarden.
  • PRI's Free Cities Center cultivates innovative ideas to improve urban life based around freedom and property rights -- not government.
