ORLANDO, Fla. – Money Magazine is set to announce its latest top 100 places to live based on "scores of statistics" on small cities boasting populations of 50,000 to 300,000.
Last year Hunters Creek and Winter Springs made the top 100 small towns with rankings of 21 and 97 respectively.

The annual ranking of the best places to live in America features the nation's Top 10 small cities in detail, plus lists the top 100 cities of this size.
In 2010, the last time MONEY measured small towns, Eden Prairie, Minnesota ranked as the best place to live. Three Florida cities made that list including Coral Springs (#44), Coconut Creek (#48) and Wellington (#72).
Last year, MONEY focused on small towns across the country (those with populations of 8,500 to 50,000) and Louisville, CO topped the list.
The criteria for the list include: economic strength, good health care, low crime, great schools, and local activities and entertainment options.
Allison Shyer spokesperson for Money Magazine says the embargoed list will be finalized next week.
