Recognitions and Achievements Propel Our Region Forward
I am delighted to share with you some exciting news that highlights the incredible progress and success of our region. Recently, Evansville was recognized by CNN for our outstanding remote work program through MakeMyMove, a testament to the innovative and forward-thinking approach of the State of Indiana and our community to grow the region’s population. You can learn more about MakeMyMove – an E-REP program funded through the State’s READI initiative – on page 4 of this newsletter.
This recognition is one of many accolades that showcase why we have so much to be proud of in our region. Evansville has been named the #1 Destination for Millennial Homebuyers, as reported by Realtor.com in their list of the 10 Hottest Cities for Young Millennial Homebuyers. This acknowledgement speaks volumes about the attractiveness and opportunities that the Evansville Region offers to young professionals and families looking to establish roots in a vibrant and welcoming community.
In addition to these honors, Evansville has experienced significant growth in high-income households, ranking #3 in the nation for high-income household growth according to SmartAsset. This remarkable 150% increase in high-income households, with 816 households added, demonstrates the economic vitality and opportunities that our region offers to residents and businesses alike.
Moreover, Evansville has been recognized as the #3 City for Remote Workers by the Wall Street Journal in their list of Best Cities for Remote Workers in the U.S. This recognition highlights our region’s infrastructure, amenities and supportive environment for remote professionals, making Evansville an attractive destination for talent from across the country.
These achievements would not have been possible without the dedication, collaboration and innovative spirit of our business community, local leaders and residents. As we celebrate these successes, let us continue to work together to build on our strengths, attract talent and investment, and create a thriving and inclusive economy for all.
Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to making the Evansville Region a great place to live, work and belong.
