Website Claims These are the 10 Most Boring Places in Indiana
One website claims they have found the ten most boring places in Indiana. Do you live in one of these towns?
Indiana towns are really a hot topic lately. When it comes to Indiana, we have no shortage of small towns with a few big cities scattered in there too. Everyone has small-town pride nowadays. Recently we have covered many of these towns in articles such as the worst small towns in Indiana, an Indiana small town that makes you feel like you are in a Hallmark movie, the best must-visit small town in Indiana, the best small town in Indiana, HGTV naming this Indiana town as the most charming in the state, the most expensive place to live in Indiana, and the ten snobbiest places in Indiana.
To keep up with the theme of Indiana towns, the website, Road Snacks recently found the ten most boring places in the entire state. Indiana was recently ranked as one of the most boring states in America. I mean, how many times have you heard someone say "there's nothing to do here"? That being said, what are the most boring places in Indiana?
The Most Boring Places in Indiana
Road Snacks used every Indiana city with at least 5,000 residents for this ranking. This wasn't based on opinion either, they actually used data to support their results. Here's how they did it:
<p>We used the U.S. American Community Census data to gather the information presented here. HSome of the things people tend to think of as making a city’s population boring include:</p><ul><li>% of Population Over 25 (higher is more boring)</li><li>% of Married Household (higher is more boring)</li><li>Average Age (higher is more boring)</li><li>% of Households With Kids (higher is more boring)</li><li>Population density (lower is more boring)</li></ul><p>Then, our algorithm generates a ranking for each place in these categories. After crunching the numbers, all of the cities ranked from most boring to most exciting.</p>
Now that we got all of that out of the way, let's find out what the ten most boring places in Indiana are.
