Most overrated things about Macon-Bibb County
Hey folks, We have two kids and Median household income is $50,747, which feels on the lower side for the area. With a population of 157K, Macon-Bibb County is a mid-size city. Poverty rate is 18.9%, which is higher than I expected. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
Pros:
- Growing food scene
- Close to nature
- Diverse community
- Good internet infrastructure
- Active local events
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Poor road conditions
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Homelessness issues downtown
