Honest thoughts on life in Terre Haute
Hi all, Rent is about $877/month for a decent place. Median household income is $41,960, which feels on the lower side for the area. Poverty rate is 18.6%, which is higher than I expected. The weather takes some getting used to. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Growing food scene
- Good schools
- Easy commute
- Strong sense of community
Cons:
- Not very walkable
- Lack of diversity
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Homelessness issues downtown
