Best small town for families? What Money magazine says - HealthPop - CBS News

On Monday the magazine released a top 100 list of best small towns for families in the U.S. The editors arrived at their sure-to-be-controversial ranking after considering financial and quality of life factors in 3,570 small towns with populations ranging from 8,500 to 50,000, according to the Money website.

The editors looked at cost of living, housing prices, cultural and recreational opportunities, the quality of public schools, weather, divorce rates, air quality, and crime rates - even the percentage of residents who walk or bike to work.

Go Liberty! Objectively speaking it is a nice town with many amenities.

This is good information for those that need it.

However, it is also indicative of horrible places for single people in general. Therefore, I save these kind of lists for personal reference.

We love visiting Liberty. It has a great hospital, lots of shopping, and great dining.

Even before we had kids Liberty was always a great day trip. Now we have two year olds and it's amazing how family friendly the town is.
