The Daily Beast determined their list of the smartest US cities by looking at a variety of factors, such as nonfiction book sales, the ratio of higher education institutions, and political engagement. Cleveland was given a score of 97 and ranked 31st (tied with West Palm Beach) out of 56 cities that were ranked. The Daily Beast listed Case Western Reserve University as one of the Cleveland's strong points.
The study by Forbes Magazine determined that Cleveland is the 10th safest city in the US. To determine the list, Forbes looked at the country's 40 largest metropolitan statistical areas across four categories of danger: violent crime rates from the FBI's 2008 uniform crime report, 2008 workplace death rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2008 traffic death rates from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and natural disaster risk, using rankings from green living site SustainLane. Cleveland was ranked behind cities such as Minneapolis-St. Paul, Milwaukee, Portland, Boston and only a few others.
