Do you inhabit the absolute best county in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania is home to an endless number of counties with exceptional qualities, but there are a unique handful that rise above the rest.
Why, you ask?
While Pennsylvania itself is a lovely place to live, the specific counties we're going to discuss in this article offer a higher quality of life including a long life expectancy and a desirable salary among other qualities that set it apart.
According to a list compiled by 24/7 Wall St., the absolute best county to live in Pennsylvania is Chester County. People in this county live to be an average of 81.5 years old and make an average of $109,969 per year.
Here's what 24/7 Wall St. had to say about sourcing the data to discover the absolute best county to live in Pennsylvania:
"Of the 67 counties in Pennsylvania, Chester County, located just outside of Philadelphia, ranks as the best to live in. The county’s poverty rate of 6.1% is nearly half the 11.8% rate across the state as a whole. Life expectancy at birth in the county, at 81.5 years, nearly three years longer than it is across Pennsylvania. Chester is also one of only two counties in Pennsylvania where over half of all adults have a Bachelor’s degree."
