The U.S. Cities Where People Live Life to the Fullest

Do you live in one of America's most active cities?

Whether it's nightlife or the outdoors, most cities claim to have a lot to offer. But a list of the available activities doesn't necessarily reveal what a city's residents are actually doing.

A new study has now ranked cities based on the ratio of people who attend events, including parties, classes, seminars, music festivals, marathons and more.

Eventbrite looked at America's 50 largest cities to measure how many residents lead active lives.

The site analyzed its records of hundreds of thousands of events, and surveyed more than 2,000 people about their lifestyles.

Some of the largest cities in the country, including New York City and Los Angeles, didn't even make it in the top 10. New York came in 20th, and Los Angeles ranked 25th.

Men and women also said they see themselves equally as living life to the fullest, but men were slightly more likely than women (85% and 80%, respectively) to view themselves as more adventurous than the average person. An overwhelming majority of both men (81%) and women (76%) said that they don't let fear stop them from trying new things.

The study also found that we get more active as we get older. People over the age of 60 were more likely to say they "live life to the fullest most days."
