Do you inhabit the absolute best county in California?
California 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 The Golden State 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 California is Marin County. People in this county live to be an average of 85.3 years old and make an average of $142,019!
Other counties in the top 5 list include Santa Clara, San Mateo, San Francisco, and Mono counties.
Here's what 24/7 Wall St. had to say about sourcing the data to discover the absolute best county to live in California:
"Using an index inspired by the HDI, 24/7 Wall St. identified the best counties in California to live in. Counties are ranked on a combination of three measures – average life expectancy at birth, the share of adults with a bachelor’s degree or higher, and the poverty rate. Of the 57 counties in California with sufficient data, we ranked the 30 with the highest HDI score."
