Raising a family in Tillamook -thoughts?
Longtime lurker here, My partner and I are The unemployment rate is 2.9%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $272,300 on average. Average temperature is around 51--F, so expect cold winters. Household incomes average around $57,604 in Tillamook. Median household income is $57,604, which feels about average for the area. The weather takes some getting used to. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Nice parks and trails
- Strong sense of community
- Plenty of shopping options
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Sprawl everywhere
- Limited cultural events
- Homelessness issues downtown
Am I overthinking this? Cheers. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.
