Why So Happy? A recent study by SmartAsset, a financial advice website, ranked the happiest places in America, with Geauga County taking the number 10 spot. The ranking looked at quality of life in 978 U.S. counties, with populations of 50,000 or more. Metrics used included family stability, physical health, personal financial health, and economic security. Geauga County has a median income of $67,663, which is the third highest in Ohio. Plus, researchers at M.I.T. determined that a family of two adults and one child could live on just $33,831 per year in Geauga County. That means the typical household in Geauga County not only enjoys the benefits of a rural lifestyle, it also makes more than twice the minimum cost of living. It’s easy to see why this is a happy place. Patterson Fruit Farm Little Pond Graphics Little Pond Graphics
