There are big cities like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/new-york-ny\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/san-francisco-ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco<\/a> that just lend themselves to wild and crazy fun, as well as smaller places and counties too.<br \/>\nSo which places were the most exciting, you might wonder. We here at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Movoto Real Estate<\/a> Blog were kind of wondering that too. So, we crunched some numbers and found out the most fun counties to call home. Get ready for a few shockers, because you probably didn\u2019t see most of these counties coming:<br \/>\n1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/muskegon-county-mi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Muskegon County, MI<\/a><br \/>\n2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/shelby-county-mo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shelby County, MO<\/a><br \/>\n3. Pierce County, NE<br \/>\n4. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/hill-county-tx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hill County, TX<\/a><br \/>\n5. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/wayne-county-in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wayne County, IN<\/a><br \/>\n6. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/washington-county-wi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington County WI<\/a><br \/>\n7.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/bradford-county-pa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Bradford County PA<\/a><br \/>\n8. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/lyon-county-nv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lyon County, NV<\/a><br \/>\n9. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/juniata-county-pa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Juniata County, PA<\/a><br \/>\n10. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/pierce-county-wi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pierce County, WI<\/a><br \/>\nSurprise surprise, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/mi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Michigan<\/a> county took No. 1! If you\u2019re wondering where your exciting county finished, you can check the top 50 at the bottom of this article, and see if it placed there. If, on the other hand, you\u2019re still scratching your head about this rather unexpected ranking, you can take a look at our methods in the very next section.<\/p>\n<h2>Our Methodology<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering how we judge excitement for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/kind-of-a-big-deal-lists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Big Deal Lists<\/a> like this one, it really isn\u2019t about our own personal preferences. Instead, we try to do things strictly by the numbers, finding excitement per capita for the most part. To start, we made a list of all the cities in each county using the U.S. Census five year community survey. Then, we collected data for each city in the following criteria:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nightlife per capita (bars, clubs, comedy, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Live music venues per capita<\/li>\n<li>Active life options per capita (parks, outdoor activities, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Arts and Entertainment per capita (movie theaters, festivals, galleries, theaters, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Fast Food restaurants per capita (the fewer the better)<\/li>\n<li>Percentage of restaurants that are not fast food (the higher the better)<\/li>\n<li>Percentage of young residents ages 18 to 34 (the higher the better)<\/li>\n<li>Population density (the higher the better)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Any place that did not have data to work with, or that we found spanned multiple counties, was left off of our list. From there, we added the data for all the cities of each county together, averaging the young resident percentage and population density. That left us with 2,814 counties with combined data for each.<br \/>\nThen, we ranked each place in each category, doing everything per capita from one to 2,814. Lastly, we averaged each county\u2019s ranking into one Big Deal Score, and the place with the lowest number for that score became out most exciting county.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re still not sure why each of these places deserved to be in our top 10, keep reading as we look more in depth at each county.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Muskegon County, MI<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/10\/exciting-counties\/images\/1.jpg\" alt=\"Most Exciting Counties\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user wsilver<\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019re pondering how this county finished above so many other locales with booming and famous cities, you only need to look at one factor really: Food. This place had a ton of it, and \u00a0tons of variety. The Hearthstone, Mia &amp; Grace Bakery and Bistro, and Toast \u2018N Jams are only a few of the mouthwatering eateries you simply need to visit to believe.<br \/>\nBy the numbers only, it\u2019s still pretty apparent why this place ranked where it did. The 240th best nightlife, the 150th best music venues, and the 195th best arts and entertainment are only a few of the excellent scores. Of course, the big standout here was the dense and the young population, with over 27 percent of locals being between the ages of 18 and 34.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re still not satisfied on the thrills front, you can always stop by Michigan\u2019s Adventure amusement park to ride a coaster or two.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Shelby County, MO<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/10\/exciting-counties\/images\/2.jpg\" alt=\"Most Exciting Counties\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Rob Stinnett<\/div>\n<p>If you want to get a little history with your fun, this county is probably for you. Visiting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/bethel-mo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bethel<\/a>\u2019s Historic District is a fun walk through times long past, and also offers a few fun eateries for when you\u2019re done, like Smokin J\u2019s.<br \/>\nBeyond the historic past, the numbers pretty much speak for themselves. This place had decent active life scores, the 170th best nightlife, and the 430th best arts and entertainment, as long as you know where to look. On top of all that, this place was pretty tightly packed and pretty young, with almost 24 percent of locals being between the ages of 18 and 34.<br \/>\nFor real local flavor, you should see what the Shelbyville Moonshiners are up to. They always seem to know how to bring the fun.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Pierce County, NE<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/10\/exciting-counties\/images\/3.jpg\" alt=\"Most Exciting Counties\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Paige Stark<\/div>\n<p>You might not think of bridges, museums, and libraries as exciting, but they\u2019re all part of what makes this little county just so picturesque. Of course, a serious lack of dull fast food joints dotting the streets is definitely a plus too.<br \/>\nThis was absolutely another spot for the outdoors folks, though. The active life ranked 270th, with help from pool clubs, golf courses, yoga, and nature in general. So if you like your excitement with a breath of fresh air, you don\u2019t have to look far in these parts.<br \/>\nThat\u2019s not all. For nightlife (ranked 22nd best) you can go to Taylor\u2019s Sports Bar &amp; Grill, for music you can see if anyone\u2019s playing at the Athletic Park Band Shell, and if you want something&#8230;vaguely creepy, there\u2019s the Klown Doll Museum in Plainview.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Hill County, TX<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/10\/exciting-counties\/images\/4.jpg\" alt=\"Most Exciting Counties\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Patty Carlson<\/div>\n<p>This is one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/tx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Texas<\/a> county that packed a lot of really exciting people all into a small area. The area had the 146th densest population, with a very fun 23.22 percent of them being between the ages of 18 and 34. But is there really much to do for these fun people? You bet.<br \/>\nFor taste buds alone, this place is pretty much a wonderland. Not only were there few boring fast food places, there were also a variety of eateries to pick from. So all you really have to do is decide if you want something sauced in perfect alfredo at Frankie\u2019s Pasta and Pizza, something fried up at Lone Star Cafe, or a delectable slice of pie over at the Texas Great Country Cafe. Yum!<br \/>\nThis place was also great for music lovers, considering it had the 74th best music venues and the 126th best nightlife options. Per capita, you\u2019d really have to search to find a place with more to do than Hill County.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Wayne County, IN<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/10\/exciting-counties\/images\/5.jpg\" alt=\"Most Exciting Counties\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Sungo<\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019re into antiques, rose gardens, hiking trails, and a stellar county fair, this place is an ideal destination. The people are friendly and down to earth, and you\u2019re only about an hour\u2019s drive to Indianapolis if you\u2019re looking for some city lights and late night fun. That being said, there\u2019s plenty to do here that doesn\u2019t involve driving so far.<br \/>\nThe active life ranked in the top 600, the arts ranked 256th, and the population density was pretty tightly packed. There was even a fair amount of young people, so this county certainly had a youthful and energetic vibe.<br \/>\nRichmond, the county seat of this place, is really the hub of it all. The Richmond Civic Theatre always has interesting shows to take in, Smiley\u2019s Pub &amp; Beer Garden is always serving up cold ones, and oh my goodness you simply have to try the potato salad at Little Sheba\u2019s.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Washington County, WI<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/10\/exciting-counties\/images\/6.jpg\" alt=\"Most Exciting Counties\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Royal Broll<\/div>\n<p>This is a slightly bigger county on our list, and this place also knew how to bring big fun. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/west-bend-wi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">West Bend<\/a> alone, the county seat, had late night fun at the Brazen Head Pub and numerous other bars, rafting and tubing nearby, the Museum of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/wi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wisconsin<\/a> Art for culture lovers, and even a jazz festival every year. What more do you need?<br \/>\nJust looking at the numbers, there\u2019s still so much more. The 246th best nightlife, the 160th youngest population, and a low number of fast food restaurants are only a few perks. Of course, the biggest standout was the 10th densest population on our list, which meant meeting new people or old friends on a night out is easy.<br \/>\nThis place also had a huge number of non-fast food restaurants for foodies. The Poplar Inn and the Riverside Brewery and Restaurant kinda prove that this place is all about quality too, even with the quantity.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Bradford County, PA<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/10\/exciting-counties\/images\/7.jpg\" alt=\"Most Exciting Counties\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Bruce Fingerhood<\/div>\n<p>For a youthful spot with some rather lovely nature around, and stellar stats, you only need to look to this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/pa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pennsylvania<\/a> county. We\u2019re not kidding about those stats, either, considering this place had the 75th youngest populace and the 230th most dense population.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s true that lots of people don\u2019t necessarily make a place exciting and this spot had more than that. Lots of arts and entertainment amenities, many music venues, and the 392nd best nightlife all made this a destination, rather than just a stopping point along the way.<br \/>\nOf course, maybe you\u2019d like a little sophistication. That\u2019s fine, seeing as you can get fine dining at the Brimarie Inn, can get a little history at the French Azilum, and can even see what the Bradford County Regional Arts Council has in the works as far as live performances.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Lyon County, NV<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/10\/exciting-counties\/images\/8.jpg\" alt=\"Most Exciting Counties\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Steven Harrell<\/div>\n<p>Who says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/las-vegas-nv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Las Vegas<\/a> is the only exciting place in Nevada? This county, near Carson City and Reno, has plenty to keep locals entertained, as long as you know where to look. There\u2019s exciting surf and turf at J\u2019s Bistro, there\u2019s the old-school feel of things at Scobies Grill, and there\u2019s a even a casino or two to try your luck at.<br \/>\nNumber-wise, this place still shows its best side. A serious lack of boring fast food, a very young population, and plenty of arts and entertainment all call this place home. Plus there\u2019s some pretty cool museums around, if history is more your thing.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s probably worth mentioning that this place is kind of known for&#8230;adult entertainment. We\u2019ll let you do your own research on that, but at least you have to admit that should keep this place from ever being boring.<\/p>\n<h2>9. Juniata County, PA<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/10\/exciting-counties\/images\/9.jpg\" alt=\"Most Exciting Counties\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user jpmueller99 <\/div>\n<p>This little county shows that PA knows how to party, even outside of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/philadelphia-pa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Philadelphia<\/a>. For starters, this county had the 66th most nightlife, the 39th most music venues, and the 21st most arts and entertainment per capita.<br \/>\nThis all might seem a little shocking, considering the competition, but just look at the options. The Juniata Junction is serving up decent grub, there are multiple bars to visit, and even boating and camping for the outdoorsy type.<br \/>\nThe numbers keep looking good in other areas too, considering this place had a high population density and over 24 percent of locals were of the younger and more lively variety. So if you\u2019re looking to find someone new to have fun with here, that shouldn\u2019t be a problem.<br \/>\nYou also might not think of this as a wine area, but this county has its very own wine trail running through it, including Juniata Valley Winery, which is definitely a small but exciting stop.<\/p>\n<h2>10. Pierce County, WI<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/10\/exciting-counties\/images\/10.jpg\" alt=\"Most Exciting Counties\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user ShaLynn Wren<\/div>\n<p>The second Pierce County to make our list, this Wisconsin one had some numbers that are sure to impress just about anyone. The 202nd densest population, a huge number of non-fast food restaurants, lots of active life amenities, and so much more made this a serious contender in our top 10.<br \/>\nThe biggest selling point here, however, was the eighth youngest population. A truly stunning 64.85 percent of locals here were between the ages of 18 and 34. You can probably find quite a few of them at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/ellsworth-wi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ellsworth<\/a> Cooperative Creamery regularly&#8230;I mean, come on, love for cheese knows no age limits.<br \/>\nBesides cheese, there\u2019s plenty to do and see here. There\u2019s great food at the Kitchen Table, the Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway for views, and of course snowmobile trails to enjoy in the winter. All that snow\u2019s got to be good for something, right?<\/p>\n<h2>Finding Fun Where You Least Expect It<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s be honest, a lot of you were expecting to see big cities and big counties on this list. You wanted huge sports teams, giant concert halls, things like that. But as our list shows, some of the most excitement per capita can be found in small spots, as long as you know where to look.<br \/>\nIf you find one of these thrilling little places calling your name, feel free to drop us a line.
