Kaylee Brown best-worst Sep 2, 2025

Been meaning to ask this. Poverty rate is 10.2%, which is around average. Household incomes average around $63,544 in Belton. Average temperature is around 65--F, so the weather is moderate. Rent is about $1,237/month for a decent place. The unemployment rate is 1.4%, which is pretty low. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Close to nature
- Easy commute
- Plenty of shopping options
- Good airport connections

Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Cold winters
- Boring for young people
- Chain restaurants dominate
Would love some local perspective. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
