Is Yazoo City getting better or worse?

Hey everyone, I'm a college student here and It's a a small town city with about 10,270 people. The unemployment rate is 6.8%, which is concerning. Median household income is $28,722, which feels on the lower side for the area. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. What are your go-to spots? Thanks for reading. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The city has invested a lot in new development.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from Atlanta and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Riverside. It's average for what you get.

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

People: Generally decent. It took about 9 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: hit or miss. Tons of options if you like Thai.

Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
