Been meaning to ask this. I'm a remote worker and Poverty rate is 29.8%, which is higher than I expected. With a population of 10,664, Darby is a small town. Rent is about $1,337/month for a decent place. Average temperature is around 56--F, so the weather is moderate. It's a a small town city with about 10,664 people. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

Pros:
- Diverse community
- Low taxes
- Good airport connections

Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Limited dining options
- High property taxes
- Chain restaurants dominate
