Hey, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and The unemployment rate is 5.3%, which is about average. With a population of 11,775, Woodmere is a small town. Crime rate is something to consider -Woodmere sits at 235.7 per 100K. Median household income is $73,615, which feels about average for the area. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 4 years ago from Houston and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in The Heights. It's underrated for what you get.
Jobs: The market is affordable right now, especially in healthcare. If you're in finance you might struggle.
People: Generally tough. It took about 16 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like Italian.
