About the Author

Christopher Ingraham is a journalist and author whose work explores the intersections of policy, economics, and personal life in modern America. Formerly a data reporter for The Washington Post, he gained national attention for his viral articles on quirky topics like the best and worst places to live in the U.S., blending rigorous data analysis with sharp wit. In his debut book, If You Lived Here You’d Be Home By Now: Why We Traded the Commuting Life for a Little House on the Prairie, Ingraham recounts his family's bold decision to leave the bustle of Washington, D.C., for a remote town in Minnesota, offering insights into work-life balance, rural revitalization, and the pursuit of happiness in an increasingly urbanized world. His writing demystifies complex issues while celebrating the human stories behind the statistics.
