Spokane is underrated, change my mind
OK so I relocated for work and Poverty rate is 8.4%, which is pretty low. Household incomes average around $65,745 in Spokane. You can expect to pay around $1,141 for rent here. Rent is about $1,141/month for a decent place. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
Pros:
- Growing food scene
- Low taxes
- Strong sense of community
Cons:
- Limited nightlife
- Lack of diversity
- Chain restaurants dominate
Worth the trade-offs? People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
