Only 4 Hoosier Cites in Top 100
Indianapolis suburbs Noblesville, Brownsburg, Westfield, and Plainfield all were selected into the middle of the pack of the best places to live in the United States. Thirty one other Hoosier cities from little Yorktown with a population of 8,759 up to Indianapolis were evaluated for inclusion in the top 100 but did not make the cut.
The top 10 in order were Louisville, CO; Milton, MA; Solon, OH; Leesburg, VA; Papillion, NE; Hanover, NH; Liberty, MO; Middleton, WI; Mukilteo, WA; and Chanhassen, MN.
Some interesting metrics published about Evansville in comparison to the average of the top 100 cities named are as follows:
1. Evansville’s median family income of $47,811 is less than half of the $99,975 for the top cities.
2. Evansville’s state sales tax of 7% is 22% higher than the 5.75% average of the leaders.
3. Evansville’s auto insurance premiums are 31% lower than the top ranked cities.
4. Evansville’s 10 year Job Growth rate is negative (-8.12%) as compared to the leading cities that enjoyed and average Job Growth Rate of 24.63%
