Happy Town!

Our little town of Batesville is on the move!  What a great surprise to see that we are listed in an article on Zippia.com. What were the factors?  Here is what the research findings are based on:

• Being well educated (Population with at least a bachelor’s degree)
• Having a job (As measured by the unemployment rate)
• A short commute to work (God do people hate traffic)
• Low cost of living
• Having a family (Getting, and staying married, has a ton of happiness benefits, on average)
• Owning a home (That’s a big plus)
• And the poverty rate (Money definitely helps out)
