The atmosphere suits quite well to its mostly suburban environment. There is a sense of community, and quite keen in friendliness. Some areas may need an improvement externally, such as the roads, bridges, and highways through remedies like fixing the potholes, cleaning litter, etc. A stellar county in all.
All in all our town is medium-sized and pretty quinte. We have a large variety of races and ethnicities living in the area so we get to learn about all kinds of different cultures. We don't have any big problems except downtown where there is some danger due to gang activity but otherwise, we are pretty close-nit community.
Dauphin is a very quiet town, the only thing you hear is cars passing through. As far as job options, there isn’t many, especially for over minimum wage, we do have a dollar general, a gas station, and a mini mart. Middle paxton elementary is friendly as well.
