Best and worst neighborhoods in Piqua

Poverty rate is 10.5%, which is around average. Average temperature is around 53--F, so expect cold winters. The unemployment rate is 2.8%, which is pretty low. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Any advice would be great. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The weather takes some getting used to. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The weather takes some getting used to. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The weather takes some getting used to.

As someone who grew up here, I genuinely enjoy living here. A lot has changed in the past few years though. healthcare used to be much growing but now it's pretty good.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from San Francisco and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Uptown. It's better than expected for what you get.

Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in real estate. If you're in hospitality you might struggle.

People: Generally pretty good. It took about 5 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like Southern.

It's not for everyone but it works for us..
