The Money magazine list of Top 100 places to live in USA for 2006 is out and Michigan made the cut with 5 cities:

Ann Arbor
Farmington Hills
Sterling Heights
Warren
West Bloomfield

Although Michigan did not make the cut for the Top 10 cities but they made the cut for:

Biggest Earners in USA:
West Bloomfield Township, MI placed 7

Safest Cities in USA with the lowest crime rate:
Clinton Township - 17
Shelby Township - 18
Canton - 24
Redord - 25

Most Singles:
Ann Arbor – 48.4%
Kalamazoo – 45.5%

Money Magazine compiles this list every year based on several factors such as affordable housing, plentiful leisure activities, plentiful cultural options, job growth, low crime rate, sood weather, short commute time and good health care access

As a side note I was sad that we did not make the cut for Most Educated List (number of residents with college grads). I would have rather taken that anyday over showing up on the Most Singles or Biggest Earners in USA list.
