Louisville named best small town by Money Magazine

LOUISVILLE – A Colorado town has topped Money Magazine’s “Best Place to Live” list once again. For towns with populations ranging from 8,500 to 50,000, Louisville has been crowned number one.

With a population of 18,400, Louisville boasts a median family income of just over $104,000 and 3.07 percent job growth from 2000 to 2010. The town also ranks high in terms of school achievement, local amenities, mild climate, and other financial, housing, and quality of life statistics taken into consideration when constructing the list.

Other Colorado towns in the top 100 include Castle Rock and Superior, ranked 19 and 20, respectively, Parker, ranked number 29, and Black Forest, at 66.

Money Magazine uses data from New York City-based OnBoard Informatics to sift through the towns that fall into the population range. The top 35 towns are visited to determine which should be deemed “best.”
