No matter what state you look at, there are nice small towns to live in. I’ve lived in major metropolitan cities and in rural areas and I prefer small towns as a great alternative for families. The only negative is that your kids will want to move out as soon as they can. Wait a minute, that’s another positive! Small towns for the win!

I hope you’ve factored the cost of healthcare into this decision. It’s gotten completely ridiculous, especially as you get older. If you live somewhere with universal healthcare, you’re more than likely better off staying there. I just got a bill for an hour at the ER with my daughter and it was 2 grand WITH what’s considered to be good health insurance where I live. Just......no. It’s completely demoralizing, considering that I pay about $400/month for said health insurance already. Do yourself a favor and look up how much healthcare/insurance will cost you if you move back here. Honestly, most of my pay goes towards insurance companies of some sort. Health, home, car, etc.

Loved this one! Good to see places that are town size that are a good option. Being retired I don't have to worry about a job. As another person mentioned being older medical stuff is important along with things like cost, crime, etc. While I don't have to deal with kids going to school, I like to hear when places have a good educational system, as I feel good education lends to a better place to live. When you showed the map with Wisconsin in red I thought you were going to say Hayward. Great job crushing the kid who gave you the finger. He will grow up to be the one person to cause a spike in their crime rate.

I had a trucking customer in Burlington, Iowa which is home to the famous Buffalo Tavern which has one of the 10 best pork tenderloins in Iowa. The reason the crime rate isn't as low as expected for Iowa is the relocation of criminals being let out of Chicago jails which is pissing the locals off. The cheap houses that you talk about are the many old Victorians that line the bluff on the east side of town overlooking the Mississippi River which need repair and are being sold cheaply. There's some upside in those places and there's lots to choose from.
