Unpopular opinion about Corvallis
Random thought, I'm originally from San Francisco and The unemployment rate is 4.9%, which is about average. With a population of 60,424, Corvallis is a smaller city. Median household income is $63,807, which feels about average for the area. Property taxes are high but you get good services. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Great weather
- Low crime in most areas
- Good schools
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Limited nightlife
- Not very walkable
- Limited dining options
- High property taxes
