CNN has just named Castle Rock, Colorado in the top 20 for Best Places to Live in 2011.

A team of seven MONEY reporters spent months combing through reams of data provided by OnBoard Informatics and other sources and fanning out across the country to identify small towns (those with populations of less than 50,000) that stand out in the qualities American families care about most. The goal: Find the best combination of job opportunities, fiscal strength, top-notch schools, safe streets, good healthcare, cultural and outdoor activities, even nice weather. The result: MONEY’s 100 Best Places to Live. (Demographic information provided by Onboard Informatics.) http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bplive/2011/snapshots/PL0812415.html
