First post here. Poverty rate is 5.6%, which is pretty low. Household incomes average around $90,677 in Bloomington. Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. Rent is about $1,526/month for a decent place. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The suburbs are where most families end up. Any advice would be great. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The city has invested a lot in new development. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
