Cost of living reality check -Mount Vernon

Median household income is $77,171, which feels about average for the area. The unemployment rate is 4.5%, which is about average. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The weather takes some getting used to. Has anyone dealt with this? Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The city has invested a lot in new development. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
