Cost of living reality check -Gautier
I'm a college student here and The unemployment rate is 4.2%, which is about average. You can expect to pay around $1,077 for rent here. Crime rate is something to consider -Gautier sits at 285.5 per 100K. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The weather takes some getting used to.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Low crime in most areas
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Sprawl everywhere
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Boring for young people
- Far from major airports

The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.
