If you could create the perfect Southeast Texas city, what would it look like?

Real estate website AreaVibes claims to help visitors find the best places to live in America, including Southeast Texas. It does so by looking at data on factors such as crime, cost of living, employment rates and per capita income. Using this data, it assigns a livability score between 0 and 100 to each town and city. The higher the score, the more desirable the area.

We looked at the site's rankings for Southeast Texas and created a list of towns from least desirable to most desirable. Click through our slideshow to see which SETX spot came out on top according to AreaVibes.
