Tampa residents really like living here, per a new survey measuring satisfaction rates in 27 U.S. cities.
Why it matters: "Satisfaction" is broad but works as a general vibe check on how people are feeling about job opportunities, housing costs, safety and other key urban issues.
By the numbers: Tampa is ranked 9 on the list with about 72% of survey respondents reporting they're "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with their city, according to the report from design and architecture firm Gensler.
- San Antonio (78%) tops the list while Baltimore (50%) fell at the bottom.
