Crime and cost of living in your area.

If its anything like up here in Ontario, it's a domino effect from big city down to smaller cities or village. Everyone is bailing from higher populations to smaller ones. Find a small one like Rat Bastid said that is within a commute to a decent sized city for good job. Call local Police, wouldnt the crime rate be available to the public?
Schools obviously are important also. Bussed to school?
We are in approx 2500 population . All services (garbage, recycling, municipal water and sewer, nat gas heat) and our taxes are 1/2 what they are in the city 15 minutes away.
Good luck, keep us posted. Great looking family! :thumbsup:

Thanks man! I can find FBI crime statistics on most towns in the US. How reliable or realistic the info is I’m not sure. It would be nice to find a rural location where the kids could bus to school.

I just want my wife and kids to feel safe in and around our home. I can’t be there to protect them while I am working. With how hard I work, and how much I pay just to live, I feel like that shouldn’t be much to ask.

I would love to visit Canada with the family. I recently found out I have family in Canada on both sides!
