This article, the eleventh in a 50-state series, ranks the best places to live in North Carolina based on three criteria: (1) median household income (adjusted for cost of living); (2) educational attainment (% of
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.
1. Best Places to Live in North Carolina (2011) - Marvin, NC (Union County)
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.
"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.
