Oxford is a city of just uder 10,000 people in Granville County.

It's a semi rural area..not a lot of farms though and I doubt there would be mush call for his line of work...but I could be wrong there.

There are a variety of jobs available but the economy is not as robust as in other more urban areas. It is slowly growing.

It's not the worst place in the world, plenty of nice homes at good prices, land is still available.....the schools aren't great but not the worst either. However, I wouldn't want to move there if I had children though.
