...OH. YUPPIES. Which zip codes apply? We are Caucasian IT professionals in our late 20's with a preschool child. We are looking to live in an affluent area with a modest commute to work.

I think Madison is an awesome town and I am moving there for grad school. If you live in town you don't need to drive at all. I am 28 and I have a preschooler as well.

Madison is a pretty open minded place and as far as I can tell the liberal college mentality blends pretty well with the entire community. If being Caucasian, affluent, and professional are how you define yourself, you may want to live in the suburbs. The city is a little more diverse than that and not affluent by any standard, so you may come up short on other yuppies to snob around with. I think it's pretty much good old middle class.

Madison, Wisconsin > Cincinatti, Ohio, especially for your listed interests. Madison has low crime, many outdoor activities, and a great overall quality of life.
