What's it really like living in Union City?
My partner and I are It's a a small town city with about 11,040 people. Poverty rate is 17.8%, which is higher than I expected. Rent is about $732/month for a decent place. The unemployment rate is 3.5%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $138,400 on average. The weather takes some getting used to. The suburbs are where most families end up. The city has invested a lot in new development. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Diverse community
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Lack of diversity
- Boring for young people
- Poor road conditions
- Homelessness issues downtown
