Pros
- Lower cost of living: Decaturโs overall cost of living is reported as below the national average.
- Strong anchor employers / local economy: The area has major industry, including ADM with a long-standing presence and ongoing investment.

- Amenities and events through the city: Decatur actively promotes community life and local initiatives.
Cons
