Pocatello vs Boston -which is better?
So, I'm a college student here and Median household income is $57,931, which feels about average for the area. The median home value here is around $240,600, which is actually reasonable. The unemployment rate is 3.1%, which is pretty low. Household incomes average around $57,931 in Pocatello. With a population of 57,152, Pocatello is a smaller city. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Plenty of shopping options
- Active local events
Cons:
- Limited dining options
- High property taxes
- Poor road conditions
- Mosquitoes and humidity
