Curious what people think. We have two kids and Poverty rate is 10.9%, which is around average. You can expect to pay around $1,163 for rent here. With a population of 88,919, Waukegan is a smaller city. Average temperature is around 51--F, so expect cold winters. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The weather takes some getting used to. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.
