Chester County is one of the best counties to live in Pennsylvania as well as one of the Top 100 in the nation, according to a new report by Niche.com.

To determine the rankings, Niche.com compared counties across the country based on relevant metrics, such as public schools, cost of living, job opportunities, and local amenities.

Chester County ranked as the second-best county to live in Pennsylvania, behind only Montgomery County. It also rated well nationally, checking in at No. 56.

Chester County’s high marks were due in no small part to its excellent schools, plethora of outdoor places to enjoy, healthy residents, and plenty of job opportunities, especially for young professionals. It is also more diverse than the majority of Pennsylvania counties and a great place to raise a family.

The county’s cost of living is on the higher side, with median home value at $357,100, which is significantly above the national median of $217,500. However, the average median household income of $100,214 is also considerably higher than the national average, which currently stands at $62,843.
