What surprised you most about Clarkson?
Alright, I've been here for 4 years and Rent is about $995/month for a decent place. Crime rate is something to consider -Clarkson sits at 839.1 per 100K. The unemployment rate is 0.7%, which is pretty low. Household incomes average around $74,122 in Clarkson. It's a a small town city with about 5,002 people. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Low crime in most areas
- Lots of new development
- Good internet infrastructure
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Limited dining options
- Lack of diversity
- Poor road conditions
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Chain restaurants dominate

It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The suburbs are where most families end up.
