City Livability scores Customized livability score Change (+/-) Arlington 65 70 +5 Minneapolis 64 77 +13 Burlington 63 61 -2 6. Transportation is vital to my current livelihood, and I would like other cities to have transit accessibility too. I was not surprised by the scores, because I chose Minneapolis due to its high rating on transportation compared to all the cities I formerly listed. Arlington customized livability score is 70 and Burlington, 61. Although the scores are much lower than Minneapolis, they are still higher than the cities I wished to migrate. These scores gave me a perspective that my expectations of a town are not what they seemed to be.
