  • The areas of concern to Madison were weather (D) and affordability (B).
  • Millennial renters are very satisfied with their city, giving it an overall rating of A+.

  • "Amazing town. So much to do and it’s so easy to make new friends." – Megan W.

  • "Having a college campus in the middle of a city is amazing. But Madison is not as racially inclusive as it thinks it is, which can be uncomfortable if you’re not white." – Savannah W.
