What are the factors that make it as such? According to a previous report by elledecor.com, "The U.S. Department of Agriculture analyzes six natural aspects of attractiveness, including mild, sunny winters, temperate summers, low humidity, topographic variation, and access to a body of water, in order to measure the best and worst places to live."
The first off the list is Ventura County, California and according to elledecor.com, "Ventura is the single most desirable place to live in America." The Golden State County is also included in the list. Followed by Humboldt County, Santa Barbara County, Mendocino County, and Del Norte. These are the top five counties within California. While San Francisco County, Los Angeles County, San Diego County, Monterey County, and Orange County rank six through ten as stated in a report by elledecor.com.
All of these counties have six natural aspects of attractiveness, but it doesn't mean that the other counties are the worst place to live in. The analysis by The U.S. Department of Agricultureis based on what they deemed best and not on personal preference alone.
