More about Wander Staffing

The average commute is about 17 minutes, public transit is not readily available, and everyday amenities are generally not walkable. People who write about living here talk about a lower-than-average cost of living — housing, utilities, and health care — and they also mention sparse nearby amenities, weak local employment and incomes, and below-average schools.
