Ravenna job market vs Tucson

Curious what people think. I'm retired and The unemployment rate is 4.2%, which is about average. Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. Household incomes average around $52,368 in Ravenna. Median household income is $52,368, which feels on the lower side for the area. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The weather takes some getting used to. The weather takes some getting used to.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 15 years ago from Raleigh and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Highland. It's hit or miss for what you get.

Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in retail. If you're in engineering you might struggle.

People: Generally excellent. It took about 11 months to build a solid friend group.

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

Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
