Hey everyone, I've been here for 4 years and With a population of 1,474, Manning is a small town. It's a a small town city with about 1,474 people. Median household income is $62,310, which feels about average for the area. Homes are going for about $109,400 on average. Rent is about $719/month for a decent place. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Good job market
- Close to nature
- Low taxes
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Sprawl everywhere
