Raleigh was ranked #2 on Forbes' list of best places to do business. A lot of factors were considered including colleges, cost of doing business (cost of labor, energy, taxes and office space), crime rate, culture & leisure, educational attainment, income growth, job growth and net migration.
The Triangle has ranked in the top 10 the last 4 years and NC is the only state with 3 cities listed in the top 25.
