Daily Real Estate News  |  October 15, 2007  |   Top 10 Best Rural Counties to Live
Where's the best rural place to live?
Progressive Farmer magazine, in partnership with the real estate research firm OnBoard, has compiled a top-10 list of desirable rural counties. The list takes into account several criteria, including home and land prices, crime rates, air quality, education, access to health care, and average household income.

Before making these picks, the magazine's editors traveled to the top contenders and interviewed the residents and get the lay of the land. Here are their final selections:
  • Barren County, Ky.
  • Warren County, Pa.
  • Randolph County, Ill.
  • Gillespie County, Texas
  • Union County, S.D.
  • St. Lawrence County, N.Y.
  • Sac County, Iowa
  • Garfield County, Okla.
  • Amador County, Calif.
  • Polk County, N.C.
