Best industries in West Little River right now

I grew up here but left for a while. Poverty rate is 14.3%, which is around average. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Has anyone dealt with this? I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The suburbs are where most families end up. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 6 years ago from Nashville and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Fairview. It's decent for what you get.

Jobs: The market is affordable right now, especially in government. If you're in construction you might struggle.

People: Generally better than expected. It took about 3 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like BBQ.

Hope this helps!.
