I'm going to run with Bubbles's idea
NCAA League - Best to worst
Beloit (3,789) - Pretty nice, clean town. Nice HS. Large enough to support local businesses. A small town that I would live in.
Ellsworth (3,113) - Pretty nice and clean, cool golf course, decent businesses, prison = good for jobs/ bad for
Minneapolis (2,042) - Clean, not as much business as Beloit. Has feeder towns for the high school (Delphos), 20 minutes from Salina which keeps people employed and pop. stable.
Russell (4,497) - Used to seem nice, I was there a few years ago and seems more empty and aging now. They also suck at sports for such a big town relative to other schools.
Belleville (1,963) - Town is shrinking fast, always seemed crappy even 10-15 years ago. Getting smaller. Seemed dirtier than other towns in league.
Assaria/ Gypsum (416, 408) - These towns go to SE of Saline. The school is nice. The towns are ass. Completely empty and dead, like most towns with no school in them. Woof.
Sared Heart in Salina is prob best. Most people seem to have a decent amount of living and everyone I knew had pretty nice houses. It just doesn't really fit in this ranking. I mean Salina has a lot of crapy stuff, but SH people prob dont live in those areas.
