Life in Clayton as a young professional
Hey, I'm single, late 50s, and Crime rate is something to consider -Clayton sits at 70.9 per 100K. Median household income is $128,898, which feels pretty solid for the area. Poverty rate is 6.4%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 58--F, so the weather is moderate. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The food scene here is surprisingly good. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Growing food scene
- Active local events
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Rising rent prices
- Chain restaurants dominate
