The best places to live is like any other opinion, in that it’s opinionated based on the author’s personal preferences.

Some like large cities with all the creature comforts (expensive apartment, shopping, entertainment, places to eat, medical) and are perfectly willing to overlook little things like crime and illegals.

And there are those that can’t wait to escape the concrete and asphalt jungles of the big city.

We live in the middle of nowhere in a red state with all the freedoms of such and wouldn’t trade it for anything else.

I don’t know. Considering how many ridiculously cold-in-the-winter places making this list (Rochester, MN, I’m looking at you), I’m guessing that “pleasant weather” isn’t a huge component in these livability ratings.

I can see why Damariscotta, ME didn’t make the list. It doesn’t have 100,000 people in it. It’s an awful place. Please do not come here.

The county I live in has about 24k people, the town has under 700. I can’t see any of my neighbors, I see more wildlife than people. My kind of place.

Whenever someone claims to be an expert in something, generally that person is full of crap.

When an organization (selling a product) does so, the organization is generally blowing smoke up your hind end to see if you will buy their load of crap.

You’d have to qualify that list with “On a Budget”, for sure.

These "best places" lists can be interesting, but the devil is always in the details. Everything depends on the metrics chosen for scoring. This one seems pretty sensible:

Ranking Criteria

In recent years, many such lists have been cooked up regularly by lefties high on Wokeium who are scoring for myriad lefty indicators. Not so here, at first glance.

"Income inequality" and "school quality" are the two metrics where there is a potential to go off the rails, but there are perfectly sensible ways to measure these as well. With regard to income inequality, I suspect most of us would agree that a broadly middle class community -- especially a community without a great concentration of the very poor -- is a good place to live. And if school quality is measured in terms of academic achievement scored on the basis of standardized tests of core academic subjects, it is of course an important factor.

Overland Park, KS is #7. Don’t move here, please. The county was red until 2020.

Even though we live in Jersey with it’s crooked politicians, the north western part is quite nice, somewhat rural with farms, pastures, & woods. We have a couple acres that keeps us busy most of the year, mowing, weed-whacking, gardening, firewood, etc., the kinds of things you don’t do living in a town or city. My wife and I both come from eastern N.J. where I won’t even go today. The neighborhood I came from is nothing like it was, developments, townhouses, people living on top of each other, not for us. We like it here and will not move. Weather is not extreme, no mudslides, few wildfires and usually small when they do occur, no large earthquakes, only 2 poisonous snakes and rare, not bad if you can handle the taxes, worse along eastern part, about avg. here.

Best place to live (or if you want to live at all) is far away from democrats, cannibals and Jihadist (but I repeat myself). /spit

“For more than a decade, we’ve been curating our annual list”

Remind me to nominate “curate, curating”, etc. for the next LSSU list of banished words.

I had plans to move to Maryville, TN upon retirement. I stayed in Wisconsin, obviously. It’s still on the back burner should my current options change. ;)

They said they only considered cities with a population of 75,000 to around 100, 000 people, and median homes no more than $500k.

So with this criteria, I can sort of see why Carmel and Fishers in Indiana were listed.

I like that they don’t like little towns. I like little towns, especially at this point in my life.

There are some great towns here.

I hope the tendency continues that people move to smaller towns and resuscitate them.

There are a zillion great small towns in the US, ones I guarantee you've never heard of, even in your own state.

So the reform movement unfolding right now hopefully will involve bringing back a lot of wonderful small towns.
