Earlier this summer, 55423.info interviewed hundreds of Richfield residents about life in their hometown.

Comfortable, diverse, convenient, even "perfect" are some of the words that residents chose to describe their city when they were asked to sum it up in one word.

Others opted for descriptors such as "ramblerville" and "noisy." One resident went on to identify the airport and highway traffic noise as a nuisance. Some outsiders were interviewed also to get a feel for what the nonresidents think of the Richfield community. Most commented that they didn't really know much about Richfield, but that it "seems nice."
