So, I'm looking for a career change since I'm probably going to move to a city of approx 200K people. What's something that everyone needs either it's simple or more complex?

Electrical involves less working in messy situations but you'll also be cold more often.

I do think electrician offers more ways to specialize (network cabling, alarm tech, etc). Plumbing may also but I'm not as familiar.

HVAC tech as well. Good ones make a good deal more than people think and it’s really not that hard if you like working with your hands. The troubleshooting concepts aren’t that difficult.
