Poverty rate is 2.0%, which is pretty low. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

Weather-wise, the summers are average and winters are developing. You get used to it after the first year.

I've lived in Eastside for about 6 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from Charlotte, I was surprised by pet-friendliness. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Good internet infrastructure
- The job market scene is improving
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Limited entertainment options
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for remote workers. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
