Anchorage
It even has two mikvaos (making it probably the only city to have twice as many mikvaos as shuls)

Only small towns are included.
All cities are included, but looking at their factors (home prices, crime levels, income levels, school system performance, cost of living index, etc) it's obvious that the winners would all be small towns and/or suburbs of larger cities.

Well Kiryas Joel won the award for being the poorest place: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/21/nyregion/kiryas-joel-a-village-with-the-numbers-not-the-image-of-the-poorest-place.html?_r=1

They also won lowest median age (under 12) and highest avg. household size (6)

A little off topic, but knowing how Dan raves about how Cleveland (or Beechwood) is the best place to live, I couldn't help sharing what happened in a Cleveland courthouse!
