Hey, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Household incomes average around $53,115 in Plymouth. Poverty rate is 8.8%, which is pretty low. The unemployment rate is 2.4%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 50--F, so expect cold winters. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Thanks in advance! The city has invested a lot in new development. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value pet-friendliness, you'll love it. The pet-friendliness is genuinely excellent and I've found it exceeded my expectations. My neighborhood (Meadowbrook) is growing and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Chicago, be prepared for the culture shock. cost of living is completely different here. And Property taxes are high.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

We moved here with our family and I love the pace of life here. Schools in Uptown area are average. Kids love it here.
