The first listing, Sandusky, Ohio, gives the articles sources.

Michigan, Ohio, Indiana seem to dominate -- haven't checked the geography,
but mebbe all close to mfr'g towns? Elkhart, Indiana f'sure.
But Cumberland, Md-W. Va (not dat far from me) was a bit of a surprise --
altho anything with W. Va. could explain "cheap".

I thought Tennessee might be in there (TVA), and KY, but apparently lots of
retirees are flocking there, running up prices. And with smaller mosquitoes
than in Florida....

Note the relatively high crime rate in Fairbanks, about 6x Elkhart, Ind.
Most in the middle.

And the other Q is, Are these place also good for a bidniss??
Food fer thought.

Given that Michigan, California and Illinois are the top 3 WORST
economic basketcase states........


Which might be perfect for the OPs "bidness" because as an example there
might be an experienced pool of workers. But since they gave absolutely
no details who knows?

My dad has his house up for sale in Michigan. Grayling Michigan.

The town is dying.

Places have died and places are reborn.

Yes indeed.

Too bad the time frame between revivals tends to be decades long.




It used to be a decent place to live..and he is leaving after nearly 40
yrs in that house. He and I built it...and its georgious, on acreage.
And a doublewide in a park in So. Cal sells for more by a significant
amount.
