Forget the "Salt City" nickname - Hutchinson's economy revolves around salt, grain elevators, and factories. With a population of just 40,006, the city offers a sleepy, small-town vibe, but the long, cold winters and occasional gas explosions are a persistent headache. While the cost of living is reasonable and the Kansas State Fair brings some excitement, this isn't the place for those seeking urban culture or temperate weather.
