Anyone work in healthcare in Newport?

Longtime lurker here, I'm originally from Austin and Household incomes average around $57,213 in Newport. Poverty rate is 11.4%, which is around average. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Worth the trade-offs?

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a physical therapist who relocated here from Salt Lake City about 4 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and cost of living.

Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Lots of new development happening
- Close to major attractions

Cons that are real:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Winters are long and cold

Financially, we've found it decent compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are stable, gas is pretty good.

Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. No regrets on my end..

I work in construction here and I love the pace of life here. The job market for my field is improving. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
