Not sure if this has been asked before, but The unemployment rate is 6.4%, which is concerning. Poverty rate is 11.7%, which is around average. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

I've lived in North for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from Dallas, I was surprised by public transit. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Four distinct seasons
- The walkability scene is improving
The downsides:
- Property taxes are high
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for young professionals. Happy to answer more specific questions..

I've lived in North for about 4 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I'm still on the fence after all this time. When I first moved here from Atlanta, I was surprised by community vibe. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- The school system scene is challenging
The downsides:
- Limited shopping options
- Dating scene is rough
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for young professionals. Happy to answer more specific questions..
