residents 25 years and over who have earned a bachelor's degree or higher); and (3) property crime rates per 1,000 residents (burglary and automobile thefts). For purposes of these rankings, "places" are incorporated municipalities with populations greater than 2,000.

So it seems Charlotte suburbs, followed by Raleigh suburbs, followed by Greensboro suburbs, followed by Asheville suburbs followed by Wilmington suburbs, followed by a single New Bern suburb. Just glancing through that's what struck as far the number each city had on this list of 20. This may not be accurate, I didn't count them, but this is what popped out to me.

Nah .... what's best for one person is ugly to another. That's why Howard Johnsons' made 28 flavors of ice cream.

People who move to areas based on "best" lists are like sheep.

Lists are only important if you rank highly in them - otherwise they're silly and/or dumb!

SO TRUE! Then they move here and complain about how baaaaaaaad everything is.

"best lists" are indeed horrible, and Forbes is the worst offender. this list is one of the better ones i have seen.

i don't agree with the title, "best place to live", but the analysis is useful.
