What is going on everyone
let's do a second video in the best places to live in the different us region series if you didn't see the first video or
If this the first time you made it to the channel welcome
But this is a series about the different regions in the US and the best places to live in those regions
Here's a quick recap
the nation's four main regions defined by the US Census Bureau are the West
Midwest south and northeast but most people see the country as five regions the West the
Southwest the Midwest the southeast and the Northeast
That's just how it is. And that's the way we're gonna do these lists
some people see it other ways and think the country is separated by several other sub regions like the deep south the mountain region the
Pacific the Bible Belt the weed belt and the Rust Belt
we also have some other areas outside the US mainland like Hawaii in Alaska Alaska sort of I mean it technically
Alaska is part of the mainland. It's just separated by a bunch of Canucks
But contiguous is the word they use
The regions are the contiguous US states Alaska and Hawaii are part of the Pacific region, but we didn't include them on this one
I will do a list of US territories and I'll include the non contiguous States
Alaska and Hawaii just to fill up that list and I know they're not territories stop typing
It's just how I'm gonna do it
That being said why don't we find out where the best places to live in our second video of the series?
Here's my top 10 best places to live in the Northeast
Number 10 Hope Valley and Wyoming, Rhode Island
Now these two are a little out of the way in southwest, Rhode Island
Wyoming is a little village of about 200 residents next to the town of Hope Valley with about 1600 residents
Now, this is all according to the US Census Bureau. This little area is amazing
Statistically and visually during Christmas. The lights are up in Halloween. There's pumpkins on almost every single porch. They have no crime
They have jobs good schools. The cost of living isn't terrible. It's up there, but it's not terrible
These two have been here longer than the United States the only bad thing about this as you can imagine that part of the country
The weather kind of sucks, but everything else here is nice
I mean might be a little boring if you move here these are out of the and kind of out in the you know
The woods a little bit, but they're nice if you're expecting to go here and go clubbing every night
It's probably the wrong place to go but these are great little towns that right next to each other
They're kind of one in the same
Number nine Skaggs billed Marilyn Skaggs Ville is an unincorporated section of Howard County with about
24,000 residents and it's a horrible name for a town a scag is a
Fin on the bottom of a surfboard that you never really think about and also it was a derogatory term for girls
You never thought about when I was in high school
I know that's not very PC
But I was 16 and that was like 35 years ago things have changed since then don't judge me
Anyway, Skaggs Ville is located about 20 miles outside of Baltimore with an incredibly low crime rate being that close to Baltimore
You'd think they'd have to have a moat around it to be that safe
The typical crime rate here is about three times less than elsewhere in the state or 64% lower than the national average
Although there is minimal crime. It's mostly like property crime not too much on the violent crime side
They got good schools things to do great health care low crime. It's a great place to live
Number eight Essex Vermont Essex is right outside of Burlington, Vermont
Essex has some of the best schools in the area. This small town has just under ten thousand residents and has about
3,700 students who get an opportunity to benefit from the schools Essex Community Education Center
Which would be like their high school has an extremely low teacher to student ratio. It's 9:00 to 1:00
This helps the graduation rate of almost 95% with the smaller class size and more one-on-one time with the teachers
They're gonna learn some more stuff. They have almost no crime good health care
They do have car accidents with moose involved which is always a bad thing. It kind of sucks the good news
Is they have a lot of attorneys in Burlington in case you want to I don't know sue
Bullwinkle, make sure you have good car insurance if you move to Essex, Vermont
Number 7 Yarmouth Maine Yarmouth is right off the Royal River with nearly six thousand residents
This town is known for its annual Yarmouth clam festival that attracts around
120,000 people over the course of a three day weekend
That's a lot of people employment among. The residents is pretty good here. The city has an extremely low unemployment rate of 2.2%
That's according to best places net. The median household income is about
$65,000 the cost of living in weather are the only knocks this town has really it's a really really nice town
I'm sure the locals have a love-hate relationship with the clam festival
You know when your town blows up like by 15 times its normal size and population. I'm sure that gets a little annoying
Number 6, Hanover, New Hampshire
Hanover is one of the best places to move to in the state when it comes to education the city offers three public schools all
Have incredible reviews getting about 80 percent positivity Hanover high school has an incredibly low student-teacher ratio, which is 11 to 1
Not as good as that when we had earlier
Which was 9 to 1 but 11 to 1 still solid number now this helps the graduation rate
Their graduation rate is 97 percent, you know in the terms of graduation rate most schools if they're getting 88 89 90
That's a good number 97 is phenomenal
Obviously you want to be about a hundred percent, but you know, someone falls through the cracks every year that just happens
This is also home to Dartmouth College, which is located right in the city
Dartmouth is one of the best schools in the country and I'm sure a
Majority of the students see this as a future goal
And of course you're gonna have the ones that are gonna leave comments a minute go I grew up in
Hanover and I never wanted to go there
I want to go to Arizona State's like Barty and start on my liver disease early
Anyway sidenote when I did a video about New Hampshire last year
I think I called Dartmouth Dartmouth on purpose. I find it
so entertaining when people lose their frickin mind over a
Mispronounced local name now we get it up here to Portland to going through the middle of town
We have the Willamette River and new people move here all the time. I've heard Wilhemina River, you know
Will mean it was the worst actually but wilmut is another good one
We get him all the time, but these people lost their mind. I was getting threats. I was kidding fine
It was just it was phenomenal
You would think I said something mean to their grandmother then stole her Walker and ran off laughing good times
Number five, Belmont, Massachusetts
Belmont is a very safe city, right outside of Boston crime doesn't happen often here
The overall crime rate is about 70 percent lower than the national average since the city lacks crime
The news often has to report things like actor Chris Evans as filming in the city
A new chocolate shop opened up or something like that or some of the locals feel that out-of-town grifters have fixed the local Thursday night
Bingo game, you know big headlines like that
Number four Pike Creek Delaware, pike Creek is a county area
Just west of Wilmington the state's largest city if you know anything about Wilmington, Delaware
You should be shocked that anything within a 30 mile radius would be considered nice
Pike Creek is a great place to live with only about 9,000 residents
This community is full of well-educated
Residents with almost everyone having a job about ninety seven percent of the population has completed high school
And I'm sure that has something to do with the extremely low unemployment rate of 1.8%
The average income here is about 55 thousand dollars a year
Every stat but costs of living gets a passing grade in Pike Creek with crime in schools getting a pluses
You know, it's Delaware. So the weather is gonna be down there a little bit but that's not even that bad. It was a C
Number three, Glastonbury, Connecticut
Glastonbury is a suburb of Hartford class
Berry's a place you moved to when you need a job being so close to a big city it offers you many more opportunities you
Wouldn't get living in a nice rural area away from town
The unemployment rate here is extremely low at around two percent the largest industries in the area are
Finance real estate and insurance when I say insurance. I'm talking about the big major insurance companies
I'm not talking about your local Geico and progressive insurance
It's like the real big ones if you just drive through Glastonbury
You will see house after house with driveways that are like three times longer than the house
That's usually a sign the house is worth some money and the people inside have some money
Chances of your neighbor being a doctor a lawyer or CEO a CFO are pretty good again
Everything here gets high marks, but weather and cost of living
Number two homes Dale Pennsylvania. Now this one wasn't a tough one
If you've been watching this channel, you know, I love homes Dale, Pennsylvania
It is hard to find a place this nice in all the aspects sure. You might find a place that has a few things
They don't but when you look at the whole picture, you'll see what I mean. Zero crime great food
Great wine an adorable Main Street and courthouse
Then when you go a step further the knocks that are at other locations like cost of living and home Isis
They aren't here homes. Dale doesn't have those good cost of living and home prices are decent
The cost of living is greater to be schools are good. And the health care is
Unbelievable for a small town like this probably unbelievable enough anywhere, but this is a smaller town and they have a giant Hospital
I've talked about that before I find that amazing
I just went to homes Dale and we'll have a video up about it soon. You'll see what I'm talking about
And number one Williamsville, New York when it comes to great small towns or villages in New York State
It's hard to single out one or two Williamsville is a village in Erie County, New York
Williamsville is about 45 minutes from the New York Canada border schools
Here are some of the best in the area. There are nine public schools in the area with an average test score
That's 25 percent higher than the national average
The area also has a high graduation rate at about 96 percent
solid numbers by any city or state standards schools almost outshine every other positive thing in Williamsville, and the
Added bonus for almost all Americans over the age of 40 that might want to move here
You are a short drive away from Canada and half price medication for you younger subscribers
And you have no idea what I'm talking about as you get older you sometimes need
Medication so you don't die
There's some of us in this country that are paying over a thousand bucks a month to stay alive
And that's even with insurance. My mother-in-law was paying about
$1,100 a month for a longest time just to stay alive
Basically, I've oversimplified it obviously, but that's kind of the nuts and bolts of it. It's good to get cheap medication in Canada
All right, so that's my top ten best places to live in the northeastern region of the United States, hope you guys enjoyed it
Hope you got some information out of it. Now. This was in no particular order
I just you know, each state got representation, but New Jersey because I couldn't find anything. Don't forget all the links below
Everybody have a great day
Be nice to each other
