Moving from Raleigh to Dearborn next month

Not sure if this has been asked before, but Born and raised here. Poverty rate is 19.4%, which is higher than I expected. The weather takes some getting used to. Appreciate any input. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

Just moved to Dearborn, any tips?

Random thought, We have two kids and Average temperature is around 52--F, so expect cold winters. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Has anyone dealt with this? Cheers. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

How safe is Dearborn really?

I've been looking at the stats and Dearborn shows relatively low crime stats. But stats don't always tell the full story. For people who actually live there — do you feel safe? Are there areas to avoid? I'm especially interested in hearing from women living alone.
