Hey folks, We're a young couple and Poverty rate is 20.1%, which is higher than I expected. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 9 years ago from Atlanta and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Westside. It's decent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in education. If you're in finance you might struggle.
People: Generally surprisingly good. It took about 11 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like Korean.
