According to the article:

"Characteristics like the number of museums, parks, bars and restaurants and cultural institutions per capita were considered, as were factors indicative of a favorable business environment. Those factors include patents, venture capital funding, sole-proprietorships, start-ups and small businesses per capita."

Sugar Land did especially well on cost of living, where affordable prices can help stretch a salary a long way.

This is another mid-sized city that makes up in value what it lacks in size.
