I can look up state income taxes, but property taxes are (deliberately, IMO) difficult to figure out for most states.
And insurance - is tornado insurance pricey?
Taxes in general aren’t too bad at all, especially the more rural you are. Tornado insurance is a little on the high side, but we’re in ‘tornado alley’. Despite all the talk though, a tornado touches down maybe once a year - it’s not like Kansas or Missouri - and the closer you are to the foothills of the Appalachain mountains, or the Daniel Boone forest, the less likely you are to experience one.
The biggest problem is drugs. Pills and meth are big in some areas - but crime is ridiculously low in the rural counties.
But I say all that, having moved here from outside Providence, RI - where crime, taxes, corruption, congestion, traffic, drugs, and multiculturalism were off the charts. KY was literally a breath of fresh air.
