you love relive people in Idaho might
think they live in the best place in the
state after all you wouldn't spend your
life somewhere you truly didn't love
right not always in fact a Pew Research
Center study determined that almost half
of Americans would rather live somewhere
else than they do now
well if you're in one of the Idaho
cities were about to highlight odds are
you don't want to go anywhere
the goal today is to analyze the best
cities in Idaho to live how do we do it
well we looked at places with low crime
great jobs great weather affordable
housing in solid schools we even looked
at short commute times you might be
surprised by the results so pull up a
chair and put a smile on her face as we
look at Idaho's best city
[Music]
our first stop on our tour of Idaho's
best city starts in Post Falls while
lots of people in Idaho might be like
are you kidding me when you look at the
data it's actually a great place to live
crime is the 10th lowest in the state
and they have the third best public
schools in Idaho Plus Post Falls
residents from the top ten for income
levels our next back city to live in
Idaho is Lewiston the unemployment rate
here is staggeringly low it's relatively
safe in Lewiston and the housing markets
solid and if you like sunny days this is
your place it's a kind of place where
you can just chill yo however the public
schools aren't as good as they are in
other districts so your kids might not
be getting the best education continuing
our vest city tour of Idaho brings us to
Haley this Austin City ranks 10th and
income levels 3rd and school spending
and there are hardly any vacant homes
that means lots of people want to live
here crime is really low and the public
schools are great if you live in Haley
you're probably straight chillin if
you're looking for a great place to live
you might want to consider Amman
believe it or not amman families command
some of the highest incomes in Idaho and
people here are pretty cheerful Plus
each Amman school kid gets about a
thousand more each than the state
average it sure beats some of the other
middle of the nowhere places in Idaho
you can call home that's for sure
Chubbuck comes in as the sixth best city
to live in Idaho while there's tons of
places in Idaho where people are pretty
backwoods you won't find that here where
residents are in on average the third
highest income is overall Chubbuck
seventh lowest for crime to hell over
the backsides commute times there aren't
too many other places in Idaho will
you'll sit in the car longer going to
and from work despite the fact that many
people haven't considered before Rexburg
is actually a great place to live
families are comfortable here and the
housing mark is doing just fine and it
seems just about everyone in Rexburg is
in a great mood all the time
no surprises here that Moscow is one of
the best places to live in the state
Moscow takes number one in three
categories it's the safest place to live
the unemployment rates weren't lowest in
the state and surprisingly commute times
aren't that bad and if you don't have a
job in Moscow it's because you refuse to
work where's the third best city to live
in Idaho you might be surprised to hear
it but it's star not only a starling the
most beautiful cities in the state it
has great schools and low crime plus
it's not very crowded and if you want to
get away to a bigger city it's easy
yeah people in star haven't made this
might not be a popular opinion but when
you look at the data Eagle is the second
best city to live in Idaho people here
are really successful and folks and
Eagle earn pretty decent salaries thank
you very much that means you can retire
a lot earlier plus you don't have to
watch her back all the time since crimes
really low and where's the best city in
Idaho that would be Meridian surprise
households in Meridian on the top 10
when it comes to average incomes and
Ollie do Meridian folks earn great
salaries most of them are employed plus
you have a ton of stuff to do within a
short drive factor and lots of fun low
crime and lots of friendly people and
you've got one hell of a place to call
home
if you live in Meridian or any of the
other Idaho cities we mentioned
congratulations
You certainly have a reason to smile
