Day-to-day life in St. Cloud, MN
Anyone else feel this way? I work in manufacturing and Crime rate is something to consider -St. Cloud sits at 436.2 per 100K. With a population of 69,926, St. Cloud is a smaller city. Poverty rate is 11.9%, which is around average. Rent is about $1,005/month for a decent place. Median household income is $61,112, which feels about average for the area. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Friendly people
- Diverse community
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Lack of diversity
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Mosquitoes and humidity
Am I wrong here? Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The suburbs are where most families end up. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The city has invested a lot in new development. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The city has invested a lot in new development. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The weather takes some getting used to.
