3. Strong Manufacturing Base:
Lima is home to major employers in manufacturing and healthcare, including the Lima Army Tank Plant and several hospitals.

2. Crime Rates:
Certain parts of the city have higher-than-average crime rates, which may concern potential residents, especially families.
3. Limited Entertainment Options:
While there are parks and some cultural venues, Lima lacks the variety of nightlife, shopping, and dining you’d find in larger cities.

Some neighborhoods show signs of aging infrastructure and underinvestment, which can impact quality of life and property values.
