Evansville Voted Best Place to Live by Kiplinger's

The people have spoken and they say Evansville is the best place to live in the country.  

In July 2008, Kiplinger’s magazine published its list of the 10 best cities.  The magazine then invited its readers to nominate and vote for their favorite city.  Evansville blew away the competition this year with more than 2,200 votes.  The second place city- Green Bay, Wisconsin- only had 1,300 votes.  As a result, Evansville is being highlighted today in a profile on Kiplinger.com.  There is a video tour of the city as well.

This is not the first time Evansville has been recognized by Kiplinger’s.  We landed on the magazine’s “50 Smartest Places to Live” list in 2006.  In order to compile the 2006 list, Kiplinger’s asked its readers what was most important to them when choosing a place to live.  Among the most popular reasons were affordable housing, cost of living, quality of life, education, quality health care, transportation and cultural amenities.  Kiplinger’s cited Evansville’s attractiveness to families as one of the biggest reasons it made the list.
