Curious what people think. Crime rate is something to consider — Carolina zona urbana sits at 2,771.8 per 100K. Poverty rate is 25.7%, which is higher than I expected. Average temperature is around 80°F, so it's warm year-round. Rent is about $677/month for a decent place. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Would love some local perspective. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The weather takes some getting used to. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.
