What is the best community in Massachusetts?

What is the best place in Massachusetts to live, whether you're a young single, a starting family, or an empty-nester? What city or town combines affordability, safety, schools, arts, culture and recreation and nightlife in the very best balance? GoLocalWorcester's 3nd Annual Massachusetts' Best Communities takes a close, analytical look at the 371 cities and towns in the state to come up with that very answer. After more than 100 hours of analyzing tens of thousands of data points, we have the answer for 2014.

Coming Wednesday July 23rd:

With updated data, GoLocalWorcester reveals the very latest look at every community from one end of the state to the other.

We will reveal the Top 100 cities and towns in Massachusetts as well as the rankings for every city in Central Massachusetts to show both the top communities at large in the state as well as locally in the Worcester County area.

GoLocal’s rankings are based on a wide array of categories, from housing data and MCAS scores to crime rates and arts and culture sites.

GoLocal will also speak with local officials and community and urban life experts to share their insights on what makes a city or town more or less livable.

We all have reasons we love (or are frustrated with), the places we live. But at some level, everyone might think theirs is the best. We're back to settle the fight. What really is the best community in Massachusetts? Who gets the blue ribbon for 2014?

Coming Wednesday.
