- No. 1 Fittest City
- No. 1 Best Large City for Working Women
- No. 2 Best City for Heart Health
- No. 2 Best City to Build Wealth
- No. 10 Best City for Wallet Wellness - the connection between physical and financial well being.

Transforming Perceptions
- It is clear we are now getting positive attention that we have long deserved. But in the past we failed to step up and tell our own great story. With whole hearted Council support, we have now launched a branding campaign designed to change perceptions about our home.
- Here is our brand promise - Aurora is worth discovering.
- Did you know Aurora is one of America's safest large city, having nationally certified police and fire departments.
- Aurora is a place that embodies the Colorado lifestyle, with 97 parks, six public golf courses, and 2 Front Range reservoirs, nearly 5,100 acres of open space and 86 miles of biking, and hiking trails.
- With access to top-tier public education through flexible open enrollment, you will find Aurora Public Schools, Cherry Creek Schools, Douglas County Schools and the Brighton School District. Did you know Aurora Quest K8 -- in Aurora Public Schools -- tied for first place among Colorado's 1009 K8 schools?
- Aurora is home to about a dozen colleges and universities, and did you know Aurora is teh only city in Colorado where you can complete a medical degree. Today both the University of Colorado and Aurora Community College are major influences in our city.
