Hi all, Crime rate is something to consider -Burbank sits at 189.6 per 100K. With a population of 28,822, Burbank is a smaller city. Median household income is $83,975, which feels pretty solid for the area. You can expect to pay around $1,241 for rent here. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Property taxes are high but you get good services. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The suburbs are where most families end up. Would love some local perspective. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
