The first listing, Sandusky, Ohio, gives the articles sources.
Michigan, Ohio, Indiana seem to dominate -- haven't checked the geography,
but mebbe all close to mfr'g towns? Elkhart, Indiana f'sure.
But Cumberland, Md-W. Va (not dat far from me) was a bit of a surprise --
altho anything with W. Va. could explain "cheap".
I thought Tennessee might be in there (TVA), and KY, but apparently lots of
retirees are flocking there, running up prices. And with smaller mosquitoes
than in Florida....
Note the relatively high crime rate in Fairbanks, about 6x Elkhart, Ind.
Most in the middle.
And the other Q is, Are these place also good for a bidniss??
Food fer thought.

Have you checked into Missouri? They are generally small-business
friendly, relatively low taxes, not a lot of excess regulation,
pretty cheap property values (really gotten very cheap lately, but it is not
likely to stay that way).

There are one or two rednecks there in them thar Ozarks.
I grew up downstairs, in Arkansas, as a kid. I have no use for the
South or the Midwest or whatever they want to call those states.

I feel about the same. I grew up in far eastern KS and hated the
summer climate. And mud all winter.
Moved to MN for only one year. Then I met a lady, and I'm still here
35 years later. Neither of us like the long winter,so we are part of
the snowbird population (to the FL keys) . Now we got the best of
both.
It is good that everybody has a different favorite spot, Otherwise
we'd all go to one place and ruin it.

But how do you handle the heat and/or humidity of spring/summer/fall?

Verily. That's what happened to my last state, CA.
