Pennsylvania has some of the most affordable places to live in America, according to HomeSnacks. That's good news for those looking to relocate and find a place with a lower cost of living, but who also want to stay in the Keystone State.

HomeSnacks recently put together a list of the 10 most affordable places to live in Pennsylvania. To determine the cities, they looked at the U.S. Census and the cost of living data for Nevada. They especially looked at home and rental prices in places with more than 1,000 residents.

"Pennsylvania is a state full of American history, baseball, and chocolate," they state in the article. "Yes, you read that right: chocolate. The chocolate capital of the United States, Hershey, is located in Pennsylvania and you can probably imagine what is manufactured in millions there. Millions upon millions of kisses, chocolate Hershey’s kisses, to be exact. Pennsylvania is also home to major metro areas like Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Who can resist a Philly Cheese-Steak or a good Pirates game?"

Pennsylvania: Most Affordable Place - The Verdict

So, what's the No. 1 most affordable city to live in Pennsylvania? According to this study, it's Greenville, with a population of 5,347. Greenville was also No. 1 last year. HomeSnacks says, "This little Hershey Kiss is seventh when it comes to home price to income ratio. We're not surprised it's so affordable. And we definitely think it’s because they have such a strong economy as a result of step ladders. Yes, step ladders. Greenville is home to the largest manufacturers of step ladders." They also state that "The Jewel of the Shenango River" is "always looking for river guides." Find the full list of the most affordable places to live in Pennsylvania according to HomeSnacks here.
