What this ranking means

Use this as a broad county shortlist signal across housing fit, land affordability, taxes, solar, and broadband.

What it does not prove

A top-ranked county does not mean a specific parcel allows a tiny home, RV, container home, ADU, off-grid dwelling, well, septic system, driveway, utility plan, or full-time occupancy. Always verify the exact parcel and local jurisdiction.
