Coming Wednesday: Rhode Island's Best Communities 2014

What is Rhode Island's top community?

Which city or town has best mix of affordability, safety, education, and arts and culture?  Where's the best place to live if you are raising a family, a young single -- or an empty nester?

GoLocalProv's 5th Annual Rhode Island's Best Communities takes a detailed, analytical look at all 39 cities and towns in the state to come up with that very answer. After more than 100 hours of analyzing thousands of data points, we have arrived at this year's conclusion.

Coming Wednesday, July 23: RI's Best Communities 2014

We will reveal the ranking of the 39 cities and towns in the Ocean State, based on a wide array of categories, from housing data to crime rates to 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 somtimes dislike), the places we live. But at some level, everyone might think theirs is the best. So we're back to settle the score. What really is the best community in Rhode Island for 2014?

See who takes top honors this Wednesday.
