It's one of the ultimate questions we have to ask ourselves when deciding where we want to spend our lives. What's the best place to live? If you're looking in the St. Louis area, there's a new ranking that tells you which suburbs are the best based on science.

Homesnacks used a ton of data to decide this new ranking of St. Louis, Missouri suburbs. Their "science" included affordability, commute times, the vibes of each community among other things. Affordability is an interesting word in the St. Louis area as places like Town and Country and Ladue are where you'll find the millionaires. It doesn't make them a bad place to live. The opposite is true, but they are not neighborhoods attainable for the majority of people. Overall, the suburbs of St. Louis are underrated in my opinion as the national press loves to throw around the "murder capital" label when most of the suburbs are very safe.
