Cost of living reality check -Wagoner

Hey everyone, I'm originally from Portland and Average temperature is around 61--F, so the weather is moderate. It's a a small town city with about 7,934 people. Household incomes average around $58,206 in Wagoner. Poverty rate is 7.1%, which is pretty low. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The weather takes some getting used to. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Pros:
- Great weather
- Low crime in most areas
- Diverse community
- Low taxes

Cons:
- Limited nightlife
- Lack of diversity
- Poor road conditions

Came here for school and stayed because it's exactly what I was looking for. The dating scene is honestly surprisingly good and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

The food scene here is hit or miss. Tons of great Italian places. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want healthcare, then yeah this place is great. But if healthcare matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.
