Is Huber Ridge a good place to live?

A solid town with one catch. Its strongest subject is incomes: the median household earns $97K. Huber Ridge’s overall grade, B+, puts it better than 73% of U.S. towns. The ranking puts it 309th of 987 in Ohio. It is strong on health as well: CDC estimates put its residents' health ahead of 84% of the country. What holds it back is walkability (C−). Most errands need a car: it is less walkable than 76% of U.S. towns. Homes run about $283K for a typical one, 3.5 times the Columbus metro’s $82K median household income. Hazard risk is weaker too — FEMA rates its natural-hazard risk higher than three fifths of U.S. communities, with inland flooding at the top.
