Working in Seymour -salaries realistic?

OK so I'm a nurse at the local hospital and It's a a small town city with about 2,607 people. Homes are going for about $90,000 on average. Median household income is $38,984, which feels on the lower side for the area. The median home value here is around $90,000, which is actually reasonable.

Hot take but it's improved dramatically in recent years. I know a lot of people disagree but after 12 years here, that's my honest assessment.

I've lived in East for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Charlotte, I was surprised by pet-friendliness. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- The cultural scene scene is improving

The downsides:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Dating scene is rough

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for families. Feel free to reach out with questions..
