Money Magazine has just published their latest “Best Places to Live” and no HoCo communities made the cut this time around.
To be fair, this years list focused on the best “small” towns with populations between 8,500 and 50,000. Last year, when Ellicott City/Columbia was recognized by the magazine as the second best place to live the criteria was for populations between 50,000 and 300,000. The population of Ellicott City/Columbia is over 155,000.
Three Maryland communities did make it into the top 100; Montgomery Village (#40), Eldersburg (#62) and Crofton (#82).
Savage was No. 51 but unfortunately it was Savage, Minnesota, not our Savage .
