Do you know where the best place to live in Pa. is? Take a look at survey findings.
Sam RulandStop reading if you’ve heard this before: Camp Hill in Cumberland County is the best place to live in Pennsylvania, according to the graders at Homesnacks.net.
Were you thinking it would be Philadelphia or Pittsburgh? Us too. But apparently those major cities pale in comparison to this suburb of Harrisburg.
The data gurus at Homesnacks.net recently took a look at the Keystone state based on research gathered by the Census and FBI.
And when they finished crunching the numbers, they found that Camp Hill has the 27th lowest unemployment rate and 7th highest median income in Pennsylvania.
"The crime is the 24th lowest in the entire state, and the residents who live in Camp Hill make huge salaries, and almost all of them have great jobs," the website reports.
This is the second year in a row Camp Hill was ranked in the No. 1 spot.
