Franklin
7.5
High score (8-10)
Franklin County's Chambersburg sits on I-81 with decent connectivity to Harrisburg, DC, and the Baltimore/Washington metro, which gives it more economic activity than its rural character would suggest. The county has seen Latino immigrant population growth that adds demographic texture. For someone operating a business with mid-Atlantic connectivity, Chambersburg's location is legitimate.
