Is Beloit still affordable?

Hey everyone, I'm a 50-year-old marketing manager and Poverty rate is 12.0%, which is around average. Crime rate is something to consider -Beloit sits at 415.9 per 100K. Household incomes average around $59,975 in Beloit. Rent is about $989/month for a decent place. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Would love some local perspective. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The weather takes some getting used to. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The weather takes some getting used to. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The suburbs are where most families end up. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 14 years ago from Charlotte and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Fairview. It's better than expected for what you get.

Jobs: The market is reasonable right now, especially in construction. If you're in government you might struggle.

People: Generally excellent. It took about 15 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like Thai.

Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
