Pros and cons of Marathon after 12 years
Anyone else feel this way? I'm a nurse at the local hospital and With a population of 9,831, Marathon is a small town. Average temperature is around 79--F, so it's warm year-round. It's a a small town city with about 9,831 people. Household incomes average around $80,556 in Marathon. Homes are going for about $683,700 on average. The suburbs are where most families end up. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.
Pros:
- Growing food scene
- Close to nature
- Diverse community
- Good healthcare facilities
- Active local events
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Far from major airports
