We knew we were the best county in America, but now we have the data to prove it!
Niche.com just named Carmel the best place to live in the entire United States.
It’s not the first time the city has received such an honor, though. CNN Money magazine dubbed it the best place to live in America back in 2012, but that ranking was specifically focused on cities ranging from 50,000 to 300,000 in population.
Carmel is also listed as the fifth best suburb in which to buy a house and the sixth best place to raise a family.
Additionally, Hamilton County can boast that two of the top 20 best places to live in all of America are right here. Fishers also made the cut, ranked as the second best place to live in Indiana and the 16th best place to live in the entire United States. Westfield is listed as the fifth best place to live in Indiana.
Data company Niche, which recently released its own ranking of the best places to live, says its new numbers take “into account several key factors of a location, including the quality of local schools, crime rates, housing trends, employment statistics, and access to amenities in an attempt to measure the overall quality of an area.”
