Quality of Life

Places Rated Almanac, in its 2000 Edition, ranked the Louisville, KY/Southern Indiana Metropolitan Area as the 14th Best Overall Place to live. This review included 354 metropolitan areas across the country. Nine categories (Cost of Living, Transportation, Jobs, Education, Climate, Crime, Arts, Health Care, and Recreation) are individually scored and added for Best Overall score.

The region’s moderate four-season climate, stable and diverse economy, outstanding cultural events, nationally-recognized health programs and many innovative features add to the list of why Southern Indiana/Louisville is a great place to work, live and raise a family. For those desiring to be near a big city to enjoy its amenities, but choosing to live in a small-town atmosphere, Southern Indiana is just the ticket. Located directly across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky, Southern Indiana’s system of interstate highways and state roads make access to any area quick and easy.
