Life in Melvindale as a young professional
So, I relocated for work and Median household income is $41,356, which feels on the lower side for the area. It's a a small town city with about 12,605 people. Homes are going for about $113,100 on average. Poverty rate is 26.1%, which is higher than I expected. Average temperature is around 50--F, so expect cold winters. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Nice parks and trails
- Low crime in most areas
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Cold winters
- Not very walkable
- Lack of diversity
- Poor road conditions
