The sales tax is 1% lower in KY; but most of the people I know in Henderson drive to Evansville to do most of their non-essential shopping and eating. Henderson is starting to get more entertainment options; but make no mistake about it, you still have to drive to Evansville for a lot of that stuff.

The cost of vehicle registration is pretty close in each state if memory serves; no idea about the property taxes.

In that case I can't see why someone would want to live in Kentucky to commute to E-vile.

==========================================

There's a difference in the feel of the towns, in that Henderson is about 30,000, so it really is the sort of place where you know a lot of people and has a small-town feel. If you're from there, you might stay instead of moving to Evansville.

But I agree, coming form out of the area, unless someone has ties to Henderson, there's really no advantage.
