RANKED: The 50 best suburbs in America

Facebook/New Albany Country Club

Once again, the top tier of our annual best suburbs lists is dominated by the Midwest.

The U.S. is full of incredible places to live - cities, yes, but also unique small towns and villages that people call home.

After examining data on 2,754 municipalities across the country, we put together a list of America's 50 best suburbs. We considered suburbs with populations between 5,000 and 100,000 within 40 kilometers of the nearest metropolitan area. We also factored in average commute times, median household income, poverty and crime rates, public school ratings from GreatSchools.org, and a measure of housing affordability.

Our list was dominated by the Midwest, or more specifically by Ohio suburbs. This is likely due to several factors, most notably a reasonable cost of living.
