Hey folks, I grew up here but left for a while. Crime rate is something to consider -Covington sits at 472.9 per 100K. It's a a small town city with about 14,334 people. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. What would you do?

We moved here with our family and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Schools in Midtown area are average. Kids love it here.
