Is Dolton worth it salary-wise?

So, Poverty rate is 14.9%, which is around average. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Am I overthinking this? People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 2 years ago from Miami and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Old Town. It's tough for what you get.

Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in healthcare. If you're in tech you might struggle.

People: Generally solid. It took about 16 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like Southern.

Happy to answer more specific questions..

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are challenging, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

I work in real estate here and the quality of life is solid. The job market for my field is challenging. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
