Is Owensboro a good place to live?
Anyone else feel this way? I've been here for 1 years and Poverty rate is 16.4%, which is higher than I expected. The median home value here is around $162,900, which is actually reasonable. Household incomes average around $53,295 in Owensboro. The unemployment rate is 2.9%, which is pretty low. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The weather takes some getting used to. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
Pros:
- Close to nature
- Easy commute
- Strong sense of community
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- High property taxes
- Boring for young people
- Homelessness issues downtown
