What else should I consider when looking for an area to relocate to?

I am compiling a checklist of things to consider when deciding where I may move after I graduate. What am I forgetting?

* driving distance from the Kansas City area (I really can't be as far away as California, for example) Ideally, no more than 12 hours away by car

*affordability ( I will have my MSW but as a Social Worker, I will never be rich)

*allergens in the air

*safety (I of course would look for low crime rates)

*proximity to nuclear power plants

*job availablity

*good hospitals/availablity of quality health care

*educational attainment of the residents (I am not a snob but I do know I would not like living in an area where many people haven't even finished high school or don't consider education to be important)

* the proximity of a Vineyard Church

* the proximity of higher educational facilities

* friendliness of the people /welcoming to newcomers

* I am possibly considering a cohousing community though it is not as important as other factors (plus I am not sure I could even afford to be a part of a cohousing community even if I decided I wanted to be)

* weather ( I would never want to live in a desert so Nevada or Arizona is out for me) I like four seasons
