Madison was judged one of the safest places in the U.S. to buy a home in this story in the Wall Street Journal this week. The write-up cited several “economic anchors” that contribute to a stable economy. It said the biggest factors were UW-Madison employment and construction projects, the presence of several startup companies linked to the university and major long-time employers including Oscar Mayer. Quoted: UW-Madison real estate professor Stephen Malpezzi.
