10 affordable, cheapest, and safest places to purchase a home in the Pandemic

Today, everyone can see how COVID-19 affects the world, and especially the United States. Starting from Jan.21, 2020, over 14 million cases have been reported in the country, with more than 275,000 death cases. Unsurprisingly, most of these cases have been reported in urban areas, since the more populations live in close proximity, the easier it is for the virus to spread.

As the coronavirus cases continue to grow, mortgage interests rate have dropped significantly. The combination of the fear of the rising virus cases in cities and affordable mortgages have led to a kind of housing boom in suburbs, resort towns, and rural areas.

In this regard, to help you locate affordable areas far away from the coronavirus hotspots, we have sourced data from the 2019 American Community survey that was conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau in order to help you locate the affordable, cheapest, and safest places to live in during the pandemic.
