CNNMoney just came out with its annual “100 Best Places to Live in America” and the Columbia/Ellicott City area was ranked #2 on the list, up from #8 a year ago.
They labeled Columbia/Ellicott City area an “economic powerhouse” and listed a low 5.2% unemployment rate and “terrific” schools as some of the reasons for its #2 position on the list.
Additional factors cited include, affordable housing, wide range in housing, lower foreclosure rate and population diversity. In addition, a great economic forecast is predicted for the area as the government plans to move thousands more positions to the Fort Meade Army Base within the next year.
