In the northern area of the state sits Cass County, with a population of close to 40,000 people, out of which nearly half live in Logansport, the county’s seat city. The average house cost in this area is $80,000 which is an acceptable price. Of course, depending on your needs and on how deep your pockets are, you’ll be able to find suitable accommodations, whether that’s higher or lower than the median.

The cost of living index is 78.9, so depending on where you’re coming from, you’ll be able to put something aside every month by saving up or finally be able to splurge on something nice every once in a while. The downside is the number of physicians per 100,000 residents, which is 121, well below the state average. On the bright side, however, if you can’t find the medical help you need, it won’t be too hard to drive to a different county.
