NEW BERLIN, WI — New Berlin earned a spot on a list of the Best Small Cities in America last week. A few cities from Wisconsin made the WalletHub list and New Berlin came in among the top ten percent of the best small cities to live in.

The study compared cities that had a population between 25,000 and 100,000. Rankings were put together with 43 different liveability factors such as housing costs, quality of school districts, household incomes, unemployment rates and other quality of life measures.
