Livability.com used government data and its own rating system to come up with a best places to live list that takes into account whether those places also are affordable, offering low-price eggs, pizzas and haircuts, not to mention the overall tax climates and other factors. “These cities are less expensive than most, yet they offer an extremely high quality of life, allowing families to save money on many cost-of-living expenses,” according to a release. Round Rock, Texas, topped the list. Cedar Rapids was No. 10.
