Cuba job market vs Albuquerque

So, Born and raised here. Median household income is $44,217, which feels on the lower side for the area. Rent is about $840/month for a decent place. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Am I wrong here? Appreciate any input. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.

I've been here 12 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is food scene. It's reasonable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the school system is legit. And if you're into photography, this place is surprisingly good.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Cedar Grove side vs the Downtown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Happy to answer more specific questions..
