At number four we have one of the most populated counties in the whole state – Hamilton County, home to over 274,000 people. Situated in the center of Indiana, Hamilton County spreads over 402 square miles and has a humid continental temperate climate, meaning the springs and falls are pleasant, while the winters are cold and humid.

On average the houses here cost $212,700, which is rather steep, but there are certainly homes that go for a lot cheaper than this available for purchase. It all depends, of course, on how deep your pockets go and how much you’re willing to spend. The cost of living is also a bit above the national average, sitting at 107.3. On the bright side, however, you’ll have access to great medical care as the number of physicians per 100,000 residents is 528, the second largest in Indiana.
