Writer called a Minnesota county 'the worst place to live.' Then he moved there

In 2015, Washington Post data reporter Christopher Ingraham wrote about an obscure U.S. Department of Agriculture list that ranked every American county according to things like climate and scenery. At the very bottom of the list was Red Lake County, in rural northwest Minnesota, which Ingraham described as "the absolute worst place to live." But after being convinced by locals to visit Red Lake County, Ingraham found that he loved it. In a new book, "If You Lived Here You'd Be Home by Now," he describes his extraordinary decision to move there, and his family's new life in the land of lakes, loons and hot dish. He recently spoke to NewsHour Weekend's Megan Thompson.
