2) The strong economy – which has led to increased job opportunities and wages;

3) The low rate on mortgages available in Blair – at 3%, compared with rates near 5% nationally; and

4) The strong community spirit and sense of pride that many residents feel about their hometown – which has helped keep crime rates low and encouraged people to invest in their homes rather than rent them out or sell them quickly for a profit.
