Worst things about Temperance nobody talks about
Curious what people think. I'm a college student here and Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. Median household income is $76,069, which feels about average for the area. The unemployment rate is 2.0%, which is pretty low. Poverty rate is 6.2%, which is pretty low. Property taxes are high but you get good services. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The weather takes some getting used to.
Pros:
- Nice parks and trails
- Lots of new development
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Not very walkable
- Limited cultural events
- Homelessness issues downtown
