NEW ULM–The City of New Ulm recently took the number one spot on a list of most affordable small towns in the United States.
The list was released by Realtor.com. The list was created using median home list prices, ownership costs, unemployment rates and crime rates to determine the most affordable. Since this was a list of small towns, Realtor.com only surveyed communities with a population under 50,000. The survey also listed one small town per state for geographic diversity.
Real.com website did acknowledge a pattern with the top 10 small towns. The midwest was heavily represented.

Erna Zahn, the oldest Minnesotan, is celebrating her 113th birthday Wednesday.
NEW ULM A woman believed to be Minnesota’s most senior citizen turns 113 on Wednesday.
Oak Hills Living Center resident Erna Zahn is believed to be the 10th oldest resident in the United States and the 31st oldest person in the world.
“Nobody has come forward to tell me anybody is older than her in Minnesota,” said Zahn’s daughter Marley Kuckhahn of New Ulm.
Kuckhahn said she uses Wikipedia, a free, multilingual open-collaborative online encyclopedia as her point of reference for how her mother’s age ranks in the world.
