Pros
• Very Affordable Cost of Living
Youngstown’s overall cost of living is about 18–26% below the U.S. average, with housing prices ~84% lower and rent around $718–830/month
• Rich Parks, Trails & Cultural Venues
Mill Creek Park is a highlight—2600 acres of trails, lakes, and gardens—plus arts venues like the Butler Institute of American Art and the YBI-supported downtown revitalization
• Tight-Knit, Resilient Community
Residents often praise the city’s grit and community spirit.
“Youngstown housing market is definitely one of the cheapest… The residents are known for their pure grit and perseverance.”
“I truly, truly love yinz.”
• Proximity to Larger Cities
About 90 minutes to both Cleveland and Pittsburgh—good weekend access without living in big city traffic
• Strong University and Incubator Presence
Youngstown State University (15,000 students) provides educational and cultural events, and the Business Incubator fuels tech startups downtown
❌ Cons
• Economic Hardships & Low Incomes
Poverty hovers near 35%, with median household income ~ $30K—substantially below national average. Unemployment remains high (~13%) .
• Elevated Crime in Certain Areas
Crime grades range from D+ (Niche) to notable pockets in the East, North, and South sides
“Stay away from the east side… north side is considered the best.”
• Struggling Public Schools
City schools were state-controlled due to prior mismanagement; graduation rates have improved (65% to 88% by 2020) but overall school quality remains mixed
• Aging Infrastructure & Harsh Winters
Road conditions, especially potholes, are a common complaint . Winters are cold and snowy typical of a humid continental climate
• Limited Public Transit & Walkability
You’ll need a car: bus service is sparse and ride frequency low
“Public Transit… is a joke now.”
