Best companies to work for in Chico?

Been meaning to ask this. We have two kids and Median household income is $67,929, which feels about average for the area. You can expect to pay around $1,442 for rent here. With a population of 102K, Chico is a mid-size city. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The weather takes some getting used to. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value outdoor recreation, you'll love it. The traffic is genuinely hit or miss and I've found it's been a really good experience overall. My neighborhood (Sunset) is reasonable and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Minneapolis, be prepared for the culture shock. dating scene is completely different here. And Traffic during rush hour is rough.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
