The good and bad of living in Muskogee
Longtime lurker here, I work in government and Average temperature is around 61--F, so the weather is moderate. With a population of 36,819, Muskogee is a smaller city. It's a a smaller city city with about 36,819 people. Poverty rate is 18.4%, which is higher than I expected. Household incomes average around $48,735 in Muskogee. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Good schools
- Strong sense of community
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Rising rent prices
- Lack of diversity
- Boring for young people
- Far from major airports
What do you all think? Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The suburbs are where most families end up. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The suburbs are where most families end up. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.
