Pros
Very low cost of living
- One of the biggest advantages.
- Median home values around $80K–$85K—extremely affordable compared to most of the U.S.
- Rent and everyday expenses are also well below national averages.
Quiet, small-town lifestyle
- Population is only about 1,100–1,200 people
- Peaceful, low-traffic environment with a slower pace of life.
- Good if you want space, privacy, and a tight-knit community.
Short commutes & low congestion
- Average commute ~19 minutes, with minimal traffic
- Easy to get around—no big-city stress.
Family-friendly & stable
- High homeownership rates and rural feel
- Lower poverty rate than many U.S. towns
Decent overall livability
- Above-average livability scores considering cost, schools, and general quality of life
Cons
Extremely small population
- Only ~1,100 residents → very limited:

- Diversity
- Can feel isolating if you’re used to cities.
Declining population
- Population has been shrinking over time
- This can signal:
- Fewer jobs
- Less economic growth
- Declining local services
Surprisingly high crime rates (for its size)
- Overall crime grade: D- (worse than most U.S. cities)
- Violent crime also rated below average
- Important: small towns can look statistically worse because of low population, but it’s still something to consider.
Limited job market
- Mostly local/service, construction, or administrative jobs
- Few high-paying or specialized career options.
Very limited entertainment & amenities
- Not much nightlife, shopping, or dining.
- You’ll likely need to drive to larger cities for:

Bottom line
La Crosse is good if you want:
