Looking back on the fight to end Alzheimer's in 2023

2023 was another momentous year in the fight against Alzheimer’s and other dementia. Take a look back at some of the year's top stories – here in Indiana and across the country.

January

The year got off to a great start as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted accelerated approval of Leqembi (lecanemab) for the treatment of patients diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or early stage Alzheimer’s disease. It was the second disease-modifying drug to receive accelerated approval.

February

The Alzheimer’s Association State Advocacy Day was held at the Indiana Statehouse in downtown Indianapolis. Governor Eric Holcomb and several state legislators spoke to volunteers from across the state who came to make their voices heard in support of HB 1422 establishing a dementia care specialist program. The bill later passed with overwhelming bipartisan support.

The care and support team kicked off a series of Community Forums, beginning in Lafayette. Additional Community Forums were held throughout the year in Columbus, Kokomo, and Indianapolis. These forums resulted in new program delivery and the addition of several support groups.

The family of Bruce Willis bravely shared that he has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. By speaking out, they have helped to raise awareness of the disease.

March

Volunteer advocates from Indiana and across the country traveled to Washington D.C. to meet with members of Congress and advocate for policies to help those affected by Alzheimer’s. They also rallied for treatment access at the White House.

April

The Alzheimer’s Association Greater Indiana Chapter announced ALZ Equity for Indiana, a four-year initiative to reach underserved communities. It was made possible with a generous $1.2 million donation from Judy and Michael Harrington. The gift is the largest donation focused on diversity, equity and inclusion made to the Alzheimer’s Association and the largest single donation of any kind to the Greater Indiana Chapter.

The Indianapolis Airport Authority (IAA) hosted the annual Community Leaders Gathering at the Indianapolis International Airport. Tamika Catchings, retired Indiana Fever player and WNBA champion, basketball hall of famer, four-time Olympic gold medalist, founder of the Catch the Stars Foundation, owner of Tea's Me Café, and IAA board member was the featured speaker. A former Lady Volunteer at the University of Tennessee, Catchings spoke about her coach, mentor and friend, the legendary Pat Summitt, who died of younger-onset Alzheimer’s disease at the age of 64.

Funding for HB 1422 establishing a dementia care specialist program was added to the Indiana budget, marking the first time that dementia-specific funding has been included in the state budget.

June

Building on the momentum of the White House rally earlier in the year, advocates across the country rallied for treatment access in their own communities. In Indiana, a rally was held on Monument Circle in downtown Indianapolis.

For the second year in a row, the Greater Indiana Chapter was a proud sponsor of the Indy Pride festival. Staff and volunteers also provided attendees with information about the impact of the disease on the LGBTQ+ community and resources to help.

The Longest Day was held on the summer solstice – the longest day of the year. Indianapolis and Fort Wayne landmarks went purple to mark the occasion. Participants raised funds and awareness on this day and throughout the year. By the end of the 2023 campaign, they raised a total of more than $397,000.

July

In a momentous decision, the FDA granted traditional approval to Leqembi - making it the first traditional approval for an Alzheimer’s treatment that changes the underlying course of the disease. While not a cure, the treatment can give people in the early stages of Alzheimer’s more time to maintain their independence and do the things they love.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) also announced a plan to enable access to FDA traditionally approved Alzheimer’s treatments. The announcement came after extensive efforts by the Alzheimer’s Association, bipartisan members of Congress, state attorneys general, clinicians, and, most importantly, advocates from communities all across the country.

The Greater Indiana Chapter was a proud sponsor of the Indiana Black & Minority Health Fair and provided information about the resources available to help those affected by Alzheimer’s and dementia.

The 2023 Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC) was held in Amsterdam, Netherlands and online. Indiana-based Eli Lilly reported full Phase 3 data from the clinical trial of donanemab. The results showed that donanemab significantly slowed cognitive and functional decline in people with early symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced an initiative known as the Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Model. The initiative will improve the way dementia care is delivered.

Legendary singer Tony Bennett passed away. He and his family had announced his Alzheimer’s diagnosis in 2021, helping to raise awareness and inspiring all those affected by the disease.

August

The Greater Indiana Chapter partnered with The National Center for Racial Equity and Inclusion at Martin University to host the Public Health Summit Series: Alzheimer's Community Forum.

The Alzheimer’s Association presented State Senator Vaneta Becker (R – Evansville) and State Representative Gregory Porter (D – Indianapolis) with Legislative Champion Awards for their work in making Indiana a more dementia-capable state.

September

The 2023 Walk to End Alzheimer’s season kicked off in Greater Indiana and continued through October. Walks were held in East Central Indiana (Richmond), Lake County, Michiana, Heartland (Muncie/Anderson), Terre Haute, Indianapolis, Kokomo, Bloomington, Porter County, Fort Wayne, LaPorte County, Columbus, and Greater Lafayette. In all, more than 1,000 teams and 8,000 participants raised over $2 million.

The Greater Indiana Chapter sponsored the 2023 Indiana Latino Expo. Staff and volunteers also provided information about resources offered in English and Spanish, including the 24/7 Helpline, which offers assistance through bilingual staff and an interpreter service that accommodates more than 200 languages.

October

Kate Foley, Ph.D., a post-doctoral fellow at Indiana University, was named the inaugural Dr. Mel Perelman Fellow for Alzheimer's Research.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced it will cover PET imaging for Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis.

November

The Alzheimer’s Association announced a milestone investment of $100 million in research initiatives in 2023 — the largest single-year investment since the organization was founded in 1980.

The annual Indiana Life Sciences Summit focused on Indiana's role in the fight against Alzheimer's and all other dementia. Greater Indiana Chapter board member Dr. Bruce Lamb was presented with the 2023 Watanabe Life Sciences Champion award.

Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter passed away. Her family had bravely shared her dementia diagnosis in May. For decades, Ms. Carter worked to improve the health and wellbeing of family caregivers through the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers.

December

Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor passed away. In a letter to the American people in 2018, she bravely shared her dementia diagnosis. She also played an important role in making Alzheimer’s the national priority it is today, driven by her own experience as a caregiver for her husband who had the disease.

Thank you

Thank you to everyone who helped make this year a success. If you’re interested in getting involved in the fight to end Alzheimer’s in 2024, visit alz.org/Indiana/volunteer and fill out our interest form.

Cassie Beer, 2022 Graduate

I went back to finish my undergrad when I turned 30. As the mother of a child with disabilities, I spent the previous ten years focusing most of my time and attention on him but knew I would eventually look for a professional career. My undergraduate degree was great, but I felt like I needed something more to prove what I was capable of.

In the Masters of Professional Communication program, I learned how to conduct meaningful research, how to apply a critical lens to information, and how to clearly present an argument. Being able to finish my thesis in the form of an applied project, I was able to demonstrate my ability to address a significant issue, conduct meaningful research, and to use those findings to produce something practical (I created a Guidebook to Accessibility & Inclusion for Virtual events, especially practical with COVID).

I never could have imagined how well this program would prepare me for my current role as the Women's Fund Director at the Community Foundation of Greater Fort Wayne. Our work is centered on education, advocacy, and research. I'm able to use my research skills in our frequent research projects, especially when it comes to using quantitative data to shape our program initiatives.

The instructors and professors in the Communication Department proved to be invaluable mentors in my journey, and I'm so grateful that several of them have followed me in my journey as supporters and encouragers.

Abortion-Rights Supporters Fear Loss Of Access If Adventist Saves Hospital

For more than two years, physician assistant Dawn Hofberg fought to bring access to abortions back to California’s Mendocino Coast, a picturesque stretch of shoreline about three hours north of San Francisco and 90 minutes from the nearest facility offering abortions.

Hofberg enlisted help from local health care providers and the American Civil Liberties Union, which sent letters to the Mendocino Coast Health Care District that operates the hospital in Fort Bragg and other medical services. The letters noted that the state constitution requires public hospitals to offer abortions if they offer other pregnancy-related care.

Late last year, district CEO Wayne Allen granted a doctor at its North Coast Family Health Center permission to start providing medication abortions, which involve two drugs that can end a pregnancy.

But Hofberg and others worry that the community’s newly won abortion access could be in peril. With a net loss of $1.2 million in the 2018 fiscal year alone, the district says its only shot at survival is to lease its operations to Adventist Health, a Roseville, California-based system affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, which opposes most abortions.

Voters will decide whether to approve the 30-year lease agreement on March 3.

Adventist officials said that despite their religious teachings that abortions should be limited to cases of life- or health-threatening pregnancies, rape, incest or severe fetal anomalies, they will not restrict the use of medication abortions at the clinic.

“We don’t control our physician practices in the way some others do and we don’t put constraints around what they can and can’t prescribe,” said Bob Beehler, an Adventist Health mergers and acquisitions executive.

Beehler said the introduction of abortion-inducing pills had changed the system’s approach to abortions. “Our historical position has been based on the way they used to be done, in a hospital.”

But abortion-rights supporters still fear what could be coming.

“Obviously, we do have a lot of concerns about Adventist’s position with respect to restricting abortion access in its facilities, and so we’re going to keep a close eye on the situation,” said Phyllida Burlingame, director of reproductive justice and gender equity for the ACLU of Northern California.

Burlingame said the deal also raises broader concerns about the spread of religious health systems that restrict care. “Not only are they taking over the private marketplace, but now they’re even spreading into these public spheres,” Burlingame said.

Similar objections from the ACLU and staff at the University of California-San Francisco last year scuttled a proposed affiliation between UCSF Medical Center and Dignity Health, a Catholic-affiliated system that restricts reproductive and transition-related care for transgender patients.

The expansion of religious systems can leave leaders of struggling hospitals with few choices when they seek to affiliate. Of the five systems to which the Mendocino hospital district issued its request for proposals last year, three were faith-based. Two responded, and Adventist was the only one that met the community’s needs, according to the district board’s treasurer, John Redding.

Nationwide, four of the largest 10 health systems and 1 in 6 acute care hospital beds are Catholic-owned or -affiliated. Seventh-day Adventists are Protestant Christian, and Adventist-affiliated systems run 87 hospitals and more than 300 other facilities in the United States, according to the Adventist Health Policy Association.

As these systems have grown, rural health care districts across California are struggling with waning patient volume and a lack of leverage to negotiate with insurers, said Sherreta Lane, senior vice president of finance policy at the District Hospital Leadership Forum, a trade association that represents all the state’s district and municipal hospitals. Many of these hospitals have closed or affiliated with private systems.

When the forum launched a decade ago, 45 districts or municipalities ran hospitals; now 35 do, Lane said.

While Catholic-affiliated systems like Dignity have received greater scrutiny for policies that restrict access to abortion, contraception, sterilization and end-of-life care, the impact of Adventist teachings on church-affiliated health systems is less known. In October, the Seventh-day Adventist Church raised concerns among reproductive health care advocates when it approved a statement saying it “considers abortion out of harmony with God’s plan for human life.”

Officials said at the time that they would develop updated protocols for church-affiliated health care institutions, where, they emphasized, few abortions are performed.

Adventist Health spokesperson Jill Kinney said in an emailed statement that the hospital system’s usual practice “is not to provide elective abortions, but we respect that patients may wish to have them.” If that’s the case, she added, “clinicians help coordinate referral and transfer to capable facilities without prejudice.”

In a response to detailed questions from California Attorney General Xavier Becerra before his office approved the system’s takeover of Delano Regional Medical Center in November, Adventist Health said it bans “elective abortions” but allows the procedure “for fetal distress and other medical reasons.” It added: “Medical abortions are performed in Adventist Health facilities,” without providing details.

In 2014, Adventist Health purchased a clinic in Fort Bragg where Dr. Eric Gutnick and his colleagues had provided reproductive health services since the 1970s. Under a contract with Adventist, Gutnick continued to see abortion patients for preoperative care in the clinic and performed surgical abortions at the Mendocino Coast District Hospital, until he retired later that year.

The Seventh-day Adventist Church’s teachings can influence other issues, too. It has opposed what it calls “transgenderism,” stating that gender identity “is determined by our biological sex at birth,” and has called homosexuality “a manifestation of the disturbance and brokenness in human inclinations and relations caused by the entrance of sin into the world.”

Arneta Rogers, an attorney for the ACLU of Northern California, voiced concern about these beliefs. “It’s not about shutting down religious entities; we just don’t want people to be discriminated against,” Rogers said in an interview.

Jason Wells, president of the Adventist Health hospitals in Ukiah and Willits, said the system cherishes diversity and its LGBTQ employees. In its statement to the attorney general, Adventist said some of its physicians provide hormones for transgender patients but none of its facilities offer “gender reconstruction surgery.”

In a statement provided by Kinney, Adventist Health said that it “strives to be free from biases related to gender identity” but that its hospitals “are not currently equipped to offer the complex, comprehensive programmatic approach necessary to provide gender reassignment treatments and surgeries.”

For many in the Mendocino community, uncertainty over the hospital’s finances has overshadowed concerns about Adventist Health’s religious affiliation as residents prepare for the vote next month. “If the affiliation doesn’t go through, I don’t know how we’ll stay in business,” said Karen Arnold, secretary of the district board.

Redding said lease payments from Adventist would allow the district to afford the estimated $24 million needed to finance upgrades required by the state to protect against catastrophic earthquake damage to its facilities.

“I wasn’t sure how we were going to do this, and now I feel that we’ve secured the future of a hospital here on the coast,” Redding said.

Top 10 Affordable Small Towns Where You’d Actually Want to Live, 2019 Edition

iStock; realtor.com

Small-town America is making a big comeback.

No, we’re not sounding the death knell for big-city living just yet. But after years of losing residents to bustling urban areas and their equally bustling suburbs, the nation’s smaller municipalities are again tempting more Americans with the seductive lures of greater affordability and a simpler way of life. In 2017 populations of these closer-knit enclaves began rising for the first time this decade, according to the latest U.S. Census data available.

And why not? There’s plenty to love about these all-American locales where home prices are way more reasonable, crime is low, public schools are decent—and you might actually know the first and last names of all of your neighbors. And their kids! Even younger, first-time home buyers are coming to grips with the fact that leaving the city behind doesn’t mean leaving behind fun, culture, beauty, connectedness, and even—dare we say it?—a bit of excitement.

They just need to know where to set their sights—and we’re here to help.

So, for the third year running, realtor.com® set out to find America’s best small towns, places that could melt even the calloused hearts of the most die-hard urban dwellers.

“Moving to a small town lets people afford a quality of life that is really appealing and lets them feel like a part of community … in a way that so many young people are looking for today,” says Winona Dimeo-Ediger, editor of Livability.com.

“Millennials, in particular, are very focused on affordability,” she says. “By moving to a small town, their basic cost of living is low enough to travel and go to restaurants.” Imagine!

To create our list, we looked at more than 500 U.S. Census–designated micropolitan areas.* Then we factored in the following criteria** to come up with our rankings:

Median home list prices on realtor.com

Low unemployment rates

Low violent crime rate (e.g., assaults, robbery, homicide)

Low property crime rate (e.g., burglary, vandalism)

Home affordability (percentage of income that goes toward mortgage payments on median-priced homes in the local market)

Two-year home price appreciation

But we didn’t stop there. We dug deeper to find the places that offer residents something extra: one-of-a-kind festivals, quirky mom and pop shops, surprising foodie destination spots. And yeah, a Spam Museum.

Sick of your big-city rent? Let’s take a tour of America’s best small towns.

Top 10 Affordable Small Towns

Tony Frenzel

1. Boone, IA

Median home price: $134,500 Population: 26,484

Boone, IA

realtor.com

The first weekend after Labor Day is when Boone, about an hour northwest of Des Moines, comes alive. It’s the start of the town’s annual Pufferbilly Days festival featuring everything from a 5K run and motorcycle show to live polka performances and—wait for it—a spelling bee! Since the 1970s, this event has paid tribute to this historic coal town’s railroad history, which includes being a major stop along the Union Pacific Railroad.

“Boone is a community that represents Iowa in everything: past, present, and future,” says Greg Piklapp, a Boone city councilman. To put the town’s future on the right footing, it has used its close proximity to Iowa State University Research Park, 15 minutes away in Ames, to attract agriculture and bioscience companies.

The strong industries have pushed the median household income here to $57,906, which is higher than the rest of the state.

Story Street, the town’s main drag, is lined with two-story storefronts with flower baskets hanging from their light poles. Down the side streets are big, two-story historic homes with front porches, priced around $100,000. Folks can also snag two-bedroom apartments with a white, subway tile backsplash in the kitchen for $600 a month.

Hometown perk: All aboard! Folks can hop on the Boone and Scenic Valley Railroad, a sweet evening ride in a historic train cart that includes a good dinner.

2. Van Wert, OH

Median home price: $94,600 Population: 28,217

Three-bedroom ranch in Van Wert, OH

realtor.com

When Jerry Mazur, now 78, wrapped up his final project in New York City as manager of an elevator installation firm in 2000, he and his wife moved out of their $10,000-a-month Manhattan apartment and set off for small-town living in Van Wert. They relocated to slash their cost of living and be near his wife’s mom, but didn’t know what to expect from the town, 40 minutes southwest of Fort Wayne, IN.

“As an outsider I found people warm and friendly. … It is easy to integrate into Van Wert,” says Mazur. So easy, in fact, that in 2016 he took over as mayor of the town.

Van Wert was the cheapest town on our list, but it offers big-city amenities, including the Van Wert Civic Theatre and Wassenburg Art Center, as well as a quaint Main Street lined with storefronts dating to the 1950s.

Housing runs the gamut, from three-bedroom ranch homes priced around $100,000 to new construction. The Landing at Dickinson Farms, a new subdivision, will offer up to 300 suburban, single-family homes and condominiums from $160,000 to over $200,000.

Hometown perk: The Van Wert Community Dog Park, a fully fenced canine mecca paid for by community donations, now hosts the annual Dog Bone Hunt each Easter.

3. Decatur, IN

Median home price: $117,500 Population: 35,491

Three-bedroom home listed for under $140,000 in Decatur, IN

realtor.com

If you’re making the two-hour trip from Indianapolis, you’re going to pass plenty of cow pastures, corn and soybean fields, and grain silos on the way. In many ways, this is your prototypical small Midwestern town.

But Decatur, founded in 1836, has its own unique vibe, too. On the weekend places like the Riverview Tap, a bar with some great live music, are packed. People like to cut loose here.

Decatur’s biggest selling point is its price tag—cheap even for Indiana. Finding two-bedroom homes in town for under $70,000 isn’t hard, and buyers in their 20s are common. The town is working on revitalizing some of its older neighborhoods, thanks to a grant by the Howard G. Buffett Foundation in 2017.

Hometown perk: Late October marks the start of the Callithumpian Festival, featuring zombie walks, haunted wagon tours, costume contests, and a huge parade. Yup, they take their Halloween seriously here.

4. McPherson, KS

Median home price: $158,800 Population: 28,708

A hundred-year-old, four-bedroom home in McPherson, KS

realtor.com

If all of the 20-somethings whizzing by on road bikes isn’t a dead giveaway, then surely places like the Craft Coffee Parlor spell it out: This is a college town. About an hour north of Wichita, it’s home to McPherson College and the Central Christian College of Kansas, boasting about 1,600 students between them.

“McPherson, KS, is one of the most progressive small communities in the Midwest,” says Anne Kirchner, with the McPherson Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Like many college towns, there’s a big range in home types and prices. They range from stately, two-story, 100-year old homes with front porches around $165,000 (perfect for a professor) to five-bedroom houses going for $115,000 that seem designed to accommodate multiple college students.

McPherson boast a strong cultural arts scene, with frequent performances at the McPherson Opera House and traveling exhibits at the McPherson Museum & Arts Foundation.

Hometown perk: The town’s Hemp Victory Garden sells all sorts of cannabidiol oils that don’t require prescriptions.

5. Los Alamos, NM

Median home price: $375,800 Population: 18,738

Homes in Los Alamos, NM

The country’s best and brightest physicists headed to Los Alamos during World War II to help develop what would become the nuclear bomb. And today it still remains a hub for high-paying science and tech jobs, with the Los Alamos National Laboratory being its top employer. Not only is this the most affluent small town on our ranking, its median household income of $110,190 is among the highest in the nation.

And while homes here aren’t cheap, they’re much more affordable than in Santa Fe, about 40 minutes to the southeast. The median home price there is $594,100.

“The lab recruits worldwide,” says Joanie Ahlers, economic development administrator for Los Alamos County. “We have a steady stream of young families moving into town.”

A classic Los Alamos home sits atop the town’s many cliffs, and has breathtaking views of the New Mexico canyons and terrain down below. And folks here have a lot of time to take in those views: Last year realtor.com ranked Los Alamos County as one of the top 10 counties where people live the longest.

Hometown perk: International swim teams from places such as Belgium and Japan train in the local Aquatic Center, a top-notch facility with Olympic-size pools.

6. Austin, MN

Median home price: $115,000 Population: 39,566

Austin, MN

realtor.com

Austin flies in the face of stereotypes about small towns in decline. Construction crews are hard at work here, putting up a $35 million, 100,000-square-foot community center that will include everything from indoor running tracks to warm therapy pools. It’s slated to open later this year.

So why is Austin, nearly two hours south of Minneapolis, doing so well? It’s home to the headquarters of Fortune 500 packaged food maker Hormel. The company spends millions improving the community and attracting talent.

“People from everywhere come here,” says Kristen Olson, a community concierge at the Austin Area Chamber of Commerce who helps newcomers transition to living in the town, including those in refugee resettlements. “We have some 50 languages spoken in our schools.”

Home buyers tend to live in cozy, century-old, two-story houses that go for around $90,000.

Hometown perk: Two words: Spam Museum.

7. Williston, ND

Median home price: $240,000 Population: 33,349

Ranch home in Williston, ND

realtor.com

Williston has seen a modern-day gold rush thanks to the North Dakota oil boom that started in the mid-2000s. The population jumped 49% since 2010.

It’s now packed with great jobs, pushing the median household income up to $89,874. That’s higher than big cities like Minneapolis and Chicago.

But those bigger paychecks haven’t come without some growing pains. Some folks have struggled to find affordable apartments, and the influx of students created a teacher shortage. And when oil prices took a hit in 2015, so did the city. (But it was a momentary setback: North Dakota oil production hit a new record in December.)

When all the new folks started moving to town, builders put up ranch homes with bright and open floor plans. But Williston has managed to retain its small-town charm.

Hometown perk: Check out the classics, muscle cars, choppers, and rat rods at the annual Chokecherry Festival Car & Bike Show

8. Mexico, MO

Median home price: $94,800 Population: 25,641

Ranch home in Mexico, MO

realtor.com

For one week each summer, Mexico is transformed from a quaint, quiet community into a giant beauty pageant filled with baton twirling, vocal solos, and clouds of hairspray. The town, about two hours northwest of St. Louis, has hosted the Miss Missouri pageant since 1970. The winner goes on to compete in Miss America.

Home buyers who want lots of neighbors can choose from two-story houses near the city center with wraparound porches built in the 1930s that go for around $60,000. Meanwhile, those seeking more peace and quiet can score 3,000-square-foot, custom-built ranch homes surrounded by woods for around $250,000.

There are all the hallmarks of a classic small town: a mom and pop tire repair shop, a bowling alley, and a miniature golf course. But for more elevated pursuits, there’s also the Presser Performing Arts Center, which holds art classes for locals and hosts dance performances.

Hometown perk: Quirky history—the town was established in 1836, the same time that Texans lost to the country of Mexico in the Battle of the Alamo.

9. Merrill, WI

Median home price: $145,000 Population: 27,838

Merrill, WI

realtor.com

This haven for history buffs is located along the banks of the Wisconsin River. Merrill boasts six buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Lincoln County Courthouse, a Beaux Arts–style building with a grand clock tower, and Merrill City Hall.

Buyers who dig the town’s past can snag two-bedroom homes built in the 1920s and ’30s that need some serious fixing up for under $50,000. And on the outskirts of Merrill are 1970s-era ranches with two-car garages going for just under $200,000.

This cozy river town tends to attract families keen on enjoying the outdoors. On the weekends you’ll spot ’em hiking through the pine trees in Council Grounds State Park, a 500-acre park just minutes from the town’s center. Or maybe Mom and Dad will sneak out for drinks at Sawmill Brewing Co.

Hometown perk: Drink cheap beer (it’s Wisconsin!), and throw darts at All Aboard, a good, old-fashioned dive bar.

10. Andrews, TX

Median home price: $232,000 Population: 17,722

Andrews, TX

realtor.com

This first oil well was drilled 90 years ago in Andrews, located in the heart of West Texas’ Permian Basin. It’s no wonder this town, about 40 minutes north of Odessa, is full of good-paying trucking, engineering, and oil field jobs. The typical household income is $70,753 here—topping incomes in cities such as Austin and Dallas.

Andrews is no stranger to boom-and-bust cycles. After some down years following the low oil prices of 2015, things are looking up again. List prices on realtor.com have soared 30% over the past two years. Passing cattle ranches, oil diggers, and that West Texas grass-coved desert landscape, home buyers can find lots of ranches priced around $230,000 on the outskirts of town.

The character of this town can be summed up by its Wild, Wild West Fest. The annual festival, held in April, includes two-steppin’ under the evening stars to country music, a barbecue cook-off, truck and tractor pulls, and, of course, goat roping.

Hometown perk: The steak fingers at Buddy’s Drive-In, founded in 1969, are a local obsession.

* This is a government definition that includes a core community plus the outlying areas with a total population of between 10,000 to 50,000 folks. We included only one place per state to achieve some geographic diversity.
