Worst things about Casper nobody talks about

Random thought, Average temperature is around 47--F, so expect cold winters. Poverty rate is 8.4%, which is pretty low. Crime rate is something to consider -Casper sits at 292.6 per 100K. Median household income is $69,171, which feels about average for the area. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The city has invested a lot in new development. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

As someone who grew up here, there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. A lot has changed in the past few years though. school system used to be much pricey but now it's surprisingly good.
