Lived there for 35 years. Crime rate is off the charts! Affordable living since everything is so cheap
Winnebago county suffers from a lack of jobs and high crime rates. I believe if jobs were to come back to the area then the crime rates would go down and this would be a much better place to live and raise a family.
Winnebago is a very warm and inviting little town. The school district has wonderful staff members that are kind and eager to help students. Everyone knows everybody so we are a very close community.
