Since the last national list on which Idaho Falls was ranked was of the nation's coldest cities (we were 18th), here's something a little more heartwarming.
Movato Blog ("The Lighter Side of Real Estate") has Idaho Falls coming in second behind Rowlett, Texas (suburban Dallas), on a list of "Best Small Cities to Move To."
- The list was based on data from close to 100 cities with populations under 60,000. The six criteria were:
- Cost of living
- Crime
- Median household income
- Unemployment rate
- Median home price
- Homes for sale per capita
Information came from the U.S. Census, Bureau of Labor Statistics, FBI, and real estate market data.
