Top 5 things I love about Hobart
Hey folks, I've been here for 8 years and Rent is about $810/month for a decent place. Poverty rate is 39.3%, which is higher than I expected. It's a a small town city with about 3,378 people. Household incomes average around $28,906 in Hobart. You can expect to pay around $810 for rent here. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.
Pros:
- Good schools
- Easy commute
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Far from major airports
- Homelessness issues downtown
- Not enough green space
