It’s not uncommon the past few years to find an article in a national publication touting the great attributes of the Oklahoma City metro area, but what about counties within the metro? I happened to stumble upon one such article this weekend, which ranks Cleveland County in the Top 3 of America’s Best Affordable Places, 2011! Not bad, huh? Here’s a summary of what the article mentioned:
