Apartments.com and CareerBuilder’s CBcampus.com picked the ten best cities for new grads to move to, based on a index of three measures: concentration of residents aged 20 to 24, number of jobs requiring less than a year experience and average cost of rent for a one-bedroom apartment. Take a look at which cities made the list. (Sources: Rankings by Apartments.com & CBCampus.com. Population numbers from the 2006 U.S. Census. Apartment rents from Apartments.com.)
