Although Sioux City's unemployment rate is just 4.8%, the city has not been adding a lot of new jobs.

Its population has stagnated and area farms, which have mechanized and consolidated over the decades, have reduced the number of workers they need.

The city also has vast tracts of inexpensive prairie land to build on so there is always a steady supply of homes for sale, keeping prices low.

This elegant, century old Colonial features a formal dining room with corner hutches, a large kitchen with an oval breakfast nook, and a finished family room in the basement.
