What makes a place special? The "it" factor that sets it apart from all others and makes it a spot that you would want to settle down and make a home for yourself. Entertainment venues, a wide array of restaurants, affordable prices, job opportunities — whatever "it" may be depends on each person, but one county in Wisconsin was named as the best place to live in the entire state.
According to a list compiled by 24/7 Wall St., the "best county" to live in in Wisconsin is Ozaukee County, which has a median household income of $86,915 (compared to the $67,080 state average) and a life expectancy of 82.0 years. Additionally, the poverty rate for this area is 4.0%, far below the state average of 10.7%.
Here's what the site had to say about the best county in Wisconsin to call home:
"Residents of the area, located just north of Milwaukee along the short of Lake Michigan, are less than half as likely to live below the poverty line as the typical Wisconsin resident. Life expectancy at birth in the county is also about three and a half years longer than it is across the state as a whole. The local Bachelor's degree attainment rate of 50.4% is considerably higher than the statewide average."
