The stats say it all!

I live in Hickory, North Carolina and recently ran across some facts about our fair city! I've always known what a great town it was but never realized how fortunate we are live in a place that compares so favorably to other locations throughout the U.S. The following stats are representative figures comparing 2007 to 2008:

Cost of Living...................... -12.79% below the U.S. average

Population growrh.................+8.49% over 2006

Median home prices..............+3.71% over 2006

Unemployment rate..............5.60%

Cost per student per year......$4275, the U.S. average is $6058

Student to teacher ratio.........15 students

Wow! These are just a few of the reasons for living in our area. If you can think of others, please comment.
