How We Did It in 2009
All statistics—including the population density and tract size numbers here and the full stat sheets
on our web site—are researched and provided by OnBoard Informatics, a real estate research firm. The
Progressive Farmer compiles a list of rural counties based on certain criteria: home and land
prices, crime rates, environment, education, economic factors, access to health care and others.
Counties are first ranked using a proprietary formula based on these statistics, then arranged again
based on editorial opinion after the magazine staff travels to selected counties.
