Living in Wooster -the reality
Alright, Been living here since 2020. Crime rate is something to consider -Wooster sits at 413.3 per 100K. Median household income is $65,888, which feels about average for the area. Rent is about $882/month for a decent place. With a population of 27,012, Wooster is a smaller city. Poverty rate is 5.0%, which is pretty low. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The city has invested a lot in new development. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Nice parks and trails
- Low taxes
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Rising rent prices
- Limited nightlife
- Far from major airports
- Limited cultural events
