We've been exploring things about certain Iowa towns that make them different.

No...not that Atlantic City.

I got a bit confused at first because there's also the Atlantic City in New Jersey. It's known for all of its casinos and exciting nightlife. Also, it's right by the ocean and has beaches! Overall, a relatively exciting place to be.

Kind of ironic, right?

Atlantic is located in Cass County and has approximately 7,000 people residing there.

 

This "most boring town" status was determined by a few different factors. It was based off of population density, number of old people residing in town, and the amount of married couples in the area.

Here is the full list of the most boring town's in the Hawkeye State. If you're from one of these towns, do you find this to be true?

  3. Spencer
  4. Johnston
  5. Washington
