US Poll Says Miami Residents 'Most Attractive'

As if the nice weather and sandy beaches weren't enough to put Miami residents in a good mood, they were called the nation's "most attractive" by a new poll released on Friday.

According to an online survey of "America's Favorite Cities" by Travel + Leisure magazine, Florida's metropolis has the most beautiful people, while Philadelphia came in last at No. 25.

"I'm not surprised at all, but I'm not in that group" joked Bill Talbert, president of the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau, about the city's attractive people rating.

San Diego ranked No. 2 on the survey followed by Austin, Charleston and Honolulu.

The online survey of 125,000 people ranked 25 U.S. cities in 45 categories ranging from most affordable to friendliest people.

In 2008, Miami was ranked as "America's Cleanest City" by Forbes Magazine for its year-round good air quality, vast green spaces, clean drinking water, clean streets and citywide recycling programs.
