So, I relocated for work and Median household income is $74,764, which feels about average for the area. With a population of 35,823, El Mirage is a smaller city. Poverty rate is 11.1%, which is around average. The weather takes some getting used to. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The city has invested a lot in new development. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 7 years ago from Phoenix and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in West. It's tough for what you get.
Jobs: The market is affordable right now, especially in hospitality. If you're in real estate you might struggle.
People: Generally challenging. It took about 4 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like BBQ.
Hope this helps!.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I love the pace of life here. Internet is underrated in most areas.

I've been living here for 5 years and I'd say I genuinely enjoy living here. The pet-friendliness is average compared to other places I've lived. Overall Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
