Pros and cons of Temperance after 15 years
Been meaning to ask this. Military spouse here. It's a a small town city with about 8,495 people. You can expect to pay around $1,270 for rent here. Household incomes average around $76,069 in Temperance. Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. Poverty rate is 6.2%, which is pretty low. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The suburbs are where most families end up. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Good job market
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Cold winters
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Not enough green space
Should I be concerned? Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The city has invested a lot in new development. The weather takes some getting used to. The city has invested a lot in new development.
