Every city has a reputation, heck, every area of the country has a reputation. People have notions about Pittsburgh, Detroit, Boston, NYC, Washington DC, and lots of other cities. There are assumptions made about Southerners, Northerners, New Englanders, West Coast people, etc. It's not really a big deal (unless you're part of a city's tourism bureau); some cities are more depressing than others, some are more fun than others, it just is what it is.

Different surveys take different criteria into consideration, what with different people difining quality of life differently. Some feel that the arts (symphony, museums, etc) rank highly, others might rank education, job security highly, a third could rank green living most highly. So, surveys and polls are usually skewed towards the agenda of the poll taker.
