Auburn was ranked in the Top 500 Best Cities for Summer Travel with Families.
After looking at many other cities, LendEDU placed Auburn in the ranking based on the summer population, food services industries and local entertainment options.
Auburn placed 388 on the list of 500. The press release states that this list includes all types and sizes of cities ranging from New York which takes the lead as No. 1 to Birmingham and Montgomery.
Auburn sits on the list between Palestine, Texas, and Conroe, Texas, which all have a similar score of a 93 out of 100.
LendEDU reviewed thousands of cities across the United States, the release said. There were three metrics used when evaluating each city, including the population increase during the summer season, accommodation and food service employees, and total entertainment options.
The total accommodation and food service employee metric in the city was used to get an understanding of how well the city could handle an uptick in population during the summer season.
Total entertainment included amusement and recreation parks, aquariums, public swimming pools, water parks and zoos.
