Rent vs buy in Union City -what makes sense?
So, Been living here since 2013. The unemployment rate is 4.9%, which is about average. Poverty rate is 34.0%, which is higher than I expected. With a population of 1,367, Union City is a small town. Household incomes average around $33,472 in Union City. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Great weather
- Good job market
- Friendly people
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Limited dining options
- Lack of diversity
- Chain restaurants dominate

Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
