- Public school rating
- Affordability
- Economic growth

Savage sits on the south bank of the Minnesota River, just south of Minneapolis. Earlier this year, it ranked #21 on CNNMoney’s list of the Best Places to Live in the United States. The larger area, Scott County, is the fastest growing county in the state, with a 45 percent uptick in population between 2000 and 2010.
Waconia was named No. 1. Two other Scott County cities made the list: Prior Lake (No. 6) and Shakopee (No. 10).
