In the northwest corner of Utah, on a 6,729 square miles territory, you’ll find Box Elder County, home to nearly 50,000 people according to the 2010 census. Some 15 percent of the territory is water, so if you love fishing or swimming you’re all set.

Box Elder County house prices are pretty accessible, with sales going on average for $164,500. The cost of living index here is four points below the national average, which is great news for your wallet. The crime rate is a more than decent 25, which is even below the state’s average. There are, however, only 74 physicians for every 100,000 people, so you might need to take your more complicated health issues in another county if they’re not covered by local hospitals and clinics.
