Strengths/weaknesses
Strengths: Salem is an affordable place to live with a relatively low rent, and a high percentage of high school graduation rates, making it a nice to place to live. Another strength is that there is a low unemployment rate of only 4.7%.
Weaknesses: The greatest weakness in Salem is that there is a lack in diversity with Caucasians contributing to 95% of the population, which results in a lack of the community to experience different cultural ways and people outside of what and who they are already used to.
