Is Kokomo getting better or worse?
Anyone else feel this way? I'm originally from Austin and Median household income is $54,195, which feels on the lower side for the area. Average temperature is around 51--F, so expect cold winters. Homes are going for about $126,500 on average. The weather takes some getting used to. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.
Pros:
- Diverse community
- Good internet infrastructure
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Limited public transit
- High property taxes
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Poor road conditions

Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The weather takes some getting used to. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.
