Austin has topped plenty of "best places to live" lists, but a new ranking claims Austin is the best place to live for a specific group of people: military veterans.

WalletHub examined the 100 largest cities in the United States, looking at affordability, friendliness to veterans, livability, job availability and more, and Austin came out on top, just ahead of Scottsdale, Ariz., Colorado Springs, Colo. and Raleigh, N.C.

Other top Texas cities for veterans include Plano at No. 6, Fort Worth at No. 12, San Antonio at No. 28 and Dallas at No. 33.

According to the study, Plano had the lowest veteran employment rate in the country. Laredo didn't fare so well on the ranking -- the South Texas city had among the lowest veteran income growth and the highest percentage of veterans in poverty.
