Hey everyone, I'm a remote worker and Crime rate is something to consider -Craig sits at 157.6 per 100K. Household incomes average around $69,256 in Craig. It's a a small town city with about 9,022 people. Poverty rate is 10.6%, which is around average. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The city has invested a lot in new development. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The suburbs are where most families end up. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem decent.
I've been here 15 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is pet-friendliness. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the cultural scene is legit. And if you're into rock climbing, this place is decent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Cedar Grove side vs the West side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I've lived in Riverside for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it was the best decision I ever made. When I first moved here from New York, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Four distinct seasons
- The healthcare scene is underrated
The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Chain restaurants dominate
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for young professionals. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
