Description
“Thank you, Christopher Ingraham for venturing out of the bubble of stereotyping and
misunderstanding that often confines American urbanites who never leave the city and smugly
judge rural Americans from their leather couches. I love Mr. Ingraham for his open mind and
reporterâ€s grasp of detail and complicated truth. He captures the charm of a small town
entertainingly, without sentimentality or the canned platitudes of those who drop in for a day and
count themselves expert analysts after lunchtime. Good work!― (George Hodgman, NY Times
bestselling author of Bettyville)“If you want to understand Americaâ€s current existential
crisis – namely the rural/urban divide – please pick up Christopher Ingrahamâ€s book. He
writes with humor and compassion, but also with hard data and insight. The result is a fascinating
portrait of the middle of our country, both its strengths and weaknesses. Itâ€s like “Green
Acres― with regression analysis.― (AJ Jacobs, bestselling author of The Know It All) Read more
The hilarious, charming, and candid story of writer Christopher Ingrahamâ€s decision to
uproot his life and move his family to Red Lake County, Minnesota, population 1,400—the
community he made famous as “the worst place to live in America― in a story he wrote
for the Washington Post.Like so many young American couples, Chris Ingraham and his wife,
Briana, were having a difficult time making ends meet as they tried to raise their twin boys in the
East Coast suburbs. One day, Chris—in his role as a “data guy― reporter at the Washington
Post—stumbled on a study that would change his life. It was a ranking of Americaâ€s 3,000+
counties from ugliest to most scenic. He quickly scrolled to the bottom of the list and gleefully
wrote the words “The absolute worst place to live in America is (drumroll please) . . . Red Lake
County, Minnesota.― The story went viral, to put it mildly. Among the reactions were many from
residents of Red Lake County. While they were unflappably polite—itâ€s not called
“Minnesota Nice― for nothing—they challenged him to look beyond the spreadsheet and
actually visit their community. Ingraham, with slight trepidation, accepted. Impressed by the
locals†warmth, humor, and hospitality—and ever more aware of their own financial situation
and torturous commute—Chris and Briana eventually decided to relocate to the town heâ€d
just dragged through the dirt on the Internet.If You Lived Here Youâ€d Be Home by Now
is the story of making a decision that turns all your preconceptions—good and bad—on their
heads. In Red Lake County, Ingraham experiences the intensity and power of small-town gossip,
struggles to find a decent cup of coffee, suffers through winters with temperatures dropping to forty
below zero, and unearths some truths about small-town life that the coastal media usually miss.

Itâ€s a wry and charming tale—with data!—of what happen
