What to expect moving to Worthington?

Random thought, The unemployment rate is 2.8%, which is pretty low. With a population of 14,754, Worthington is a small town. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Property taxes are high but you get good services. What do you all think? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Public transit is underrated here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's been a really good experience overall.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a accountant who relocated here from Houston about 1 years ago. The main reasons were weather and a job opportunity.

Pros I've experienced:

- Growing food and restaurant scene

- Good airport with direct flights

- Diverse dining options

Cons that are real:

- Property taxes are high

- Not a lot of cultural diversity

Financially, we've found it hit or miss compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are wild, gas is hit or miss.

Socially, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
