Hi all, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Household incomes average around $67,265 in Monroe. Average temperature is around 61--F, so the weather is moderate. Poverty rate is 11.0%, which is around average. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. TIA! There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
