OK so The unemployment rate is 5.1%, which is about average. Is this normal for Akron? TIA!

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 15 years ago from Charlotte and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Oak Park. It's average for what you get.
Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in engineering. If you're in healthcare you might struggle.
People: Generally challenging. It took about 15 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like sushi.
Definitely worth checking out..
