Since 2006, Columbia/Ellicott City, MD has ranked 4 times on the list. Let's look at Columbia, MD specifically.
Columbia, MD was designed to enhance its residents' quality of life. Developer and creator James W. Rouse envisioned Columbia's Master Plan that called for a series of ten self-contained villages (centers), comprised of several neighborhoods. All villages have a shopping center, recreational facilities, a community center, a system of bike/walking paths, and homes. The village center may contain middle and high schools, Columbia's public schools are operated by the Howard County Public School System. The school system consistently ranks among Maryland's top school districts based on student performance on the Maryland School Assessments. Howard County students score above the national averages on standardized tests and nearly 92% of graduates continue their education beyond high school.
The village concept is aimed to provide Columbia a small-town feel, four of the villages have interfaith centers, jointly owned and operated interdenominational common worship facilities by a variety of religious congregations working together. Centerpieces of Columbia include The Mall in Columbia and man-made Lake Kittamaqundi, symbolisms of the equality imagined for all.
